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.

Once you get an offer in hand, shopping around is to be expected.
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.
Could a bank pull your full time offer if you shop around (Originally Posted: 08/13/2017)
I was recently lucky enough to secure a full time offer at a good investment bank. However, I have never gotten a change to interview with the largest bulge banks. I feel like now if I wanted to I could at least have some basic networking talks with alums from my school and learn if I could get an offer at a stronger institution.
I was wondering if its possible for an investment bank to get pissed if they find out you spoke to other banks and pull your offer because of it? Or is that not something that they do and they understand that it is normal to go through that before making your decision.
Would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on whether they could/would pull an offer
Well I dunno aren't we towards the ending part of BB recruiting already? Don't think your chances are that good.
Maybe if you're diversity. Everything else is just starting (no BB has even had a superday yet for regular candidates)
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.
They absolutely can pull an offer and likely will if they find out
Talk to someone you know closely at the bank or someone else who has leveraged offers. I heard from upperclassmen that it happens pretty frequently
My sincere advice - don't shop around, unless you have IB experience. IB network is small, and word will spread.
