How casual to be with first year analysts?
I’m a BB intern from a target school. As such, there are a lot of alumni from my school at this BB, in the IBD, and even in my group. A lot of first year analysts who talk more casually to me than they do to the other interns (I assume bc of that school bond)
How casually can I talk to them? I’ve been just mirroring the level of formality with which they speak with me—light cussing, open conversation, etc—but unsure if I should be being more conservative. I don’t speak like this with people who don’t speak like this to me first, alum or not.

It’s totally alright to be casual with them. Only thing I would say is don’t tease or roast them too heavily. lot of people in this industry have big egos and while they can crack jokes about you, people tend to have a “who do you think you are” attitude when you respond back to someone more senior, unless you know them very well and are very close.
Also, just make sure you can lock in when you need to. You don’t want to be the guy who is chill with everyone but can’t lock in.
More unsolicited advice, at group events, especially at an event with alcohol, I do not want to talk to you about PE recruiting or my PE offer or HF recruiting or etc. I have zero interest in that conversation.
I am happy to give you advice about our group, especially qualitative and social advice, such as group gossip, who I like and who I don’t like working for, etc. but I do not want to talk hardo recruiting nonsense while I’m drinking.
