How does one physically network for FT during SA

Pretty self-explanatory based on the title. I know the most important thing to focus on during your SA experience is getting a return offer, but how does one physically network for FT opportunities during the summer? Even though I have not started my internship yet, I know I will be extremely busy during the summer. How/when/where will I be able to hop on the phone or even get coffee with people at other banks while also focusing on my work?

You should focus on the FT offer from your internship. If you are an all star intern and are fun to be around, then they will want you back in the office next year. However, networking could be done over a quick coffee chat on a Saturday morning or GO OUT WITH YOUR FRIENDS, it’s easy to network in a group, someone always knows someone else. A casual interaction that can lead to other opportunities to connect later on.

 

I dont think this was the answer OP was looking for lol

i think he wants to go to a better bank for FT not cuz hes worried he wont get his return offer
