How many networking calls?
I think I’m at roughly 15-20 calls now over the past 5-6 weeks, mostly MDs but a couple of VPs, associates, and analysts. I’m still pushing along steadily but feels like I’m not getting anywhere yet. Are my numbers just low or is it something else?
is this for ft? Bro I've done 40 in the last 3 weeks and have been getting faded by all the bb/eb's.
yeah FT from non-target. 40 calls or 40 apps?
Dumb question there isn’t a set ammount of calls you need to do id rather have 1 good call at a firm that leads to someone going to bat for me than 5 mediocre calls where people forget who you are a week later.
Obviously, I’m asking for anecdotes not a hard set number
So weird. None of my phone calls have been turning into anything meaningful but coldapps are getting traction
Yeah I networked with JPM not realizing they have a no networking policy
Wdym? Networked there over summer as well. Were you a SA ? Or pivoting from diff field
Same experience here. Incredibly odd
Networked with maybe ~5 ppl and had opportunities at 4 so far. Quality over quantity. Non target but had a banking internship
Did you target analysts & associates or VPs & MDs?
I tried cold outreach but got 0 responses. Reconnected with a few analysts from SA networking that were happy to help
I’ve always followed the mindset that seniors have more sway, but seems FT recruiting looks for competency and fit over nepotism (lol). Again this is just my experience, it’s definitely political and depends on the person and group
