Centerview - "Please do not send unsolicited emails"

"Please note: Applications for multiple offices will not be reviewed. Additionally, we kindly ask that you please not send unsolicited emails to multiple people at the firm."

Anyone know if they actually care if we send cold networking emails? or are they going to ding us for sending "unsolicited" emails lmfao

thanks

Was wondering if they had a policy against this. I have sent them many networking emails and received 0 responses. Never had this issue at any other bank. Usually after 20 or so emails I get 3-4 responses minimum.

 

I cold emailed every other bank as well, and never had a problem. It seemed like the rational thing to do. Even cold emailed places like Allen & Co. (fairly secretive company, not very flashy, no website) and PJT (every banker there gets lots of cold emails) with absolutely no issue. Centerview seems to be the only place with this kind of issue and that takes it seriously. 

EDIT: changed an above paragraph after receiving a note from someone who works at Centerview

 

That's what I was told by a colleague who works there. Perhaps "insider info" is a bit too strong of a term here. I was supposedly told that trying to network with people via cold emails was not only a bad look, but could get your app dinged. Again, I'm not sure if that's totally true, but that's at least what I was told.
