I’ll make you a deal. You can come to my regional office I’ll go to your BofA/citi office.
Shit if it’s the one I want I’d do it in a heartbeat
At an LMM but yea no responses at all. Even alumni aren't responding. Don't know what's going on.
Does this mean an FT interviews might push later into the summer/fall? Specifically for MM…
Bump
Who have you been emailing? assocs?
everyone from analyst to MD. Not many sent out because it’s a non nyc location so offices are small and I don’t want to spam
People have been responding to me both juniors and seniors however everyone has just said make sure and get the RO. So not much benefit
Target?
Alr dm me, at a regional, can prob help
more matches on hinge than referrals in ib
real
I recruited FT last summer - basically no hits networking until last week in July/early August, and most of the FT interviews were the last week of August through September.
Was this for MM? And did you have a return offer?
Top 5 Rx firms. Seemed like most MMs were a little later in August.
a small regional office is worried about flight risk. they want to know why you'd leave NYC for their city and whether you'll bounce back in a year, so if your email doesn't lead with a real tie to that place (hometown, family, partner, went to school nearby) it gets archived no matter how good your timing is.
you're already inside a BB, so use it. a warm intro from a staffer or a senior with real relationships in that office beats any cold email. since it's a small office, you can usually skip straight to whoever runs recruiting there, often a VP or MD, without needing an analyst to pass you along first. if the seat you want happens to be at your own bank, check internal mobility before anything external.
keep the volume low. re-bump anyone quiet the first week of August, and if this is full-time 2027 recruiting rather than a first-year process, late summer is when things pick back up, so the silence right now is mostly people on vacation.
extremely helpful, thank you. I am both from the area of the regional office and went to school there too. Have been pretty up front in emails saying I wanted to be in that city for FT.
Not sure about my bank’s internal process and I had a spotty mid summer review hence my concern to ask my staffers about transferring. Wanted to wait till I had a return in hand first.
Will reach back out first week of August. Thanks
