FT 2022

Hey everyone, looking for some advice on preparing for FT recruiting. As an incoming SA, should I start networking before I begin my internship, or wait until it's already underway to begin cold emailing etc? Also, do firms do info sessions (and/or OCR) for FT or is that only for SA?

Thanks!

I can't speak of the best way to prepare for FT and FT recruiting, but make sure to build relationships with people at your firm. The more people that know who you are, the more people you have that may vouch for you when it is time to make that decision.
