Lateral Networking LinkedIn Message
Hey guys, just wanted to get some insight on the below networking message that I'm thinking of using as I continue to network for future lateral opportunities. My main concern is that the message is too wordy/long and will deter people from actually reading through the whole thing.
Let me know what you guys think!
Hi xx,
I hope you’re doing well. My name is xx, and I’m currently an investment banking senior analyst at a boutique investment bank called xx.
I have recently been trying to lateral to larger investment banking platforms. I was hoping to get some insight into the recruiting process and how to best position myself since I am coming from a significantly smaller investment bank.
It would also be great to learn more about your story and the steps you took to successfully land at xx.
I know you’re busy, but I’d greatly appreciate a brief call if possible. I’m available anytime this week from 12:00 PM onwards. If this doesn't work, I will accommodate your schedule as necessary. I can be reached at xx, or xx
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best,
xx
0491Stats, bummer your thread hasn't had a response yet. Maybe one of these threads could point you in the right direction:
If we're lucky, maybe I can guilt some users to help you out: dirtnasty Arina-K viva_la_liberte
Hope that helps.
Your txt is too long. I would not read it if it comes through. Also wouldtn say you have been trying - sounds like you have tried and failed = theres smth wrong with you. Smth along the lines below. I would target analysts and follow up ~2-3 times if they dont respond
Hi xx,
I hope you're doing well. My name is xx, and I'm currently an investment banking senior analyst at a boutique investment bank called xx.
I am interested in lateraling to a global investment bank and would greatly appreciate if you would have time for a quick phone call as I would be interested in hearing how you have found the experience of working in such an organisation?
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
What is the best way to follow up after sending the initial message?

Why would you target analysts? Decision maker is likely at VP level and I don't see the incentive for an analyst to recommend another analyst.
Why not? Are u scared of competition?
As an analyst i put fwd regurlarly ppl who i think have a relevant profile & seem chill. If we get laterals that means more ppl to do work ie a slightly better life for me, hence the incentive
And its not upto the vp. Goes much higher though u are right i have no say in the decision making whereas the vp can weigh in
