He’ll no
maybe for other roles but classics definitely not
Yes but for capital markets.
For GS only senior matter. Analyst said that she doesn’t have any power connected me to an MD who does have power to get ppl past hirevue.
This is for NYC for other places I heard analyst networking has more power in decision.
applied in 2021 for the ibd classic SA, 2 weeks before deadline and got an interview, 0 networking, so yes.
for reference
p.s. won't happen OP
lol quality reply
wasn't there like 2.6 trillion m&a value in 2025 lol?
25SA at gs classic ib. Non dei, not client kid, int’l, yes target. Got interviews with 0 networking at gs, evr, laz, etc.
know lots of people who get EVR without networking but how’d u get LAZ? Seems like a real black box
idk lol..my school also has very few alums at laz M&A so
London probably has this
yeah networking definitely does not matter as much in london.
Yes
Yes. If resume is top notch. I feel like sophomores over index on networking because most of the site (no offense) come from semi / non-targets and the only job they have is some search fund or 5 man regional boutique. It seems inconceivable to them that a non nepo can get a job without networking.
I'm based in London. Every single person I know at GS who wasn't hired laterally (I know maybe around 12 ppl) applied cold without networking - and this was the case for every 'revenue' role there, from FICC to Classic IBD the the Financing Group. Very different from continental Europe and the US.
Profiles were either one of two types of people; for Summer Analysts, they were relatively inexperienced, had solid grades, and went to a target. But for Off-Cycles they always have prior EB/BB and/or MF/UMM PE internship experience.
I applied to s&t zero networking and got a superday. my dad is a client but i didnt say that in my application idk
