FT 2026 Recruiting

MSF student at semi-target, graduating May 2026. The other threads on ft26 recruiting mention that the process picks up in August, when Summer Analysts choose to not return. To prepare for that, I'm working on interview prep and modeling. Have a Summer Associate at a small fundamental HF for this summer. 

Targeting IB, ER, PE. The goal is to work, get experience, and buy a small business.

My current networking efforts have been unsuccessful, it seems like gridlock. I've always been good at talking to people, can connect with anyone and have been told many times that I present myself well. The issue I am facing is getting replies so that I can have a conversation.

Is this a shared experience in the market at the moment, or just me?
