Getting Caught Shopping Around

I'll be at a NYC BB/EB for 2019 SA, and would love win a full-time offer there as well. That being said, PE is a long-term goal and there are a few firms with better exit opportunities than mine.

What is the best way to network for full-time at these firms? I already have contacts at some of them, but am not sure how to approach the other firms. Cold emailing has been my go-to strategy in the past but I don't word of my shopping around to get back to my firm.

Thanks in advance.

Agree that it is typically expected, but that doesn't mean you want to be brazen about it. Doubtful you'll get fired, but you'll get relegated to the least interesting work/deals, as they'll focus more time on investing in the analysts who they expect to stay around.

 

Are you going through recruiting right now? Did you go through last year? Do you have any real life contacts/friends who work at banks feeding you info? If the answer isn't yes to at least one of those, then you don't know what you're talking about.
