Importance of networking in London
Hi,
I'm studying [non-finance] at a UK target (think Oxbridge/Imperial/LSE) currently in the process of applying for SA 2021. I know that networking is definitely a thing in the US but I've received mixed advice about its role in the UK, both on here and in real life. Assuming I don't really know anyone above former SAs, how crucial is it for me to network and how should I go about it (not sure current analysts/associates/VPs I can cold-message on linkedin will mark me to HR by themselves even if I manage to get a call with them)?
Also, if it matters, I'm going to be a finalist in October so I'm saying that I intend to pursue a master's degree in my CV.
Cheers
If you come from a target networking does not matter
Thanks. Does it apply to all banks/what are you basing it on? I was talking to a SA at GS/MS/JP from my uni who said that all interns at their bank this summer got there through extensive networking (to the best of their knowledge), which got me slightly worried
Based on my involvement in graduate recruitment at my previous BB. It does not matter for spring weeks or SAs for people with a target background, although it matters for lateral hires.
Great, thanks again, hope that remains true with other BBs/EBs as well
Hi, is it compulsory for non-target to network then? any tips for us to make sure we increase the chances of getting interviews with a somewhat competitive profile.
