How to ace IB recruiting in Europe ?

Hi guys, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how to break in IB in Europe/DACH beside being from a target school.

I have heard that it is common to cold email people and become a networking freak to make your way through, but this seems to be only true for the US.

Thanks guys.
