How many cold emails is to many for BB?

Quick question about how many cold-emails to send analysts at BB firms. Today I sent about 15 emails and am trying to get a better understanding of how many I should send per day. I know at boutique banks maybe 1 every couple of weeks is recommended, but I can't seem to find anything about BB.

The way I see it 2-3 analyst/associate per week for each BB shouldn't be too bad, especially if they are in different sectors, right? Or does it not really matter at BB because there are so many analysts they are unlikely to talk to each other about emails they get from undergrads trying to network?

Would not recommend shooting 15 emails out in a day to analysts in the same group, analysts definitely talk about things like that. When you're working together 14-18 hours per day, you end up talking about anything and everything to pass the time. If you spread it out a bit then that's fine but remember you're then going to have to (hopefully) be scheduling calls with these analysts to network further. Do you really want to be scheduling 15+ calls at the same general time?
