How's this perceived? A no-no?

Where I'm interning at, in our database of deals, there's literally hundreds of bankers/consultants/other PE contacts that our fund has been in contact with sometime in the past.

Is it wrong for me to "mark" down these guys for future, personal contact?? For maybe next spring/summer?!

It crossed my mind the other day when I was talking to a GS VP. He was humble and actually pleasant....I just don't know if it'd be weird if I emailed him and tried to build a relationship for the future. Even though GS (FL- non NY) is a pipe dream...

Not sure what to think!

Great feedback. Thanks guys! No non-compete or anything in that regard @karypto. I'll wait a couple months and definitely contact a couple of these folks.

So I'm thinking in my cold email, maybe say the area of PE I'm in and then once he sees resume he'll make the connection and go from there.

Semi-related, but I wonder how the prospects are at these GS offices (Tampa, Miami)? Considering it's PWM?
