How Many Calls to land Top SA
Kinda a dumb question given how much nuance is involved with recruiting, but it’s late and I’m bored.
Say you wanted to land first rounds at ~2 EBs, 2–3 BBs, and a couple of strong MM shops. Roughly how many total networking calls do you think the average person would need?
Assume you go to a solid school but not a super target and aren’t some insane networker, but you’re still above average and generally have solid conversations
What does that translate to on a per firm basis 5 calls/firm? 10? 15+?
Obviously there’s a huge difference between 10 shit calls and 10 calls where you actually build relationships and eventually get a referral, but curious as to what people’s experiences were.
Think a solid goal is to talk to all the alumni from your school at that specific firm, which I'd imagine based on your post ("solid" "not super target") is 5-10 per bank. Issue with recruiting is there's too many variables and they're all out of your control (e.g. you don't know who has final call in giving interviews, you don't know who's actually willing or free to help recruit > managing their busy schedule). Try to email everyone you can and get as many people on the phone as you can, then you'll have left no stone unturned.
Otherwise, what if that one person you were too lazy to call could've been the one who got you an interview? You'll never know.
