Network now?

I want to start networking for a bulge bracket internship position next summer.

Now I know applications are due next January, so do you think it would be kind of early to start networking?

I was going to start asking MD's for information sessions. Or would it be better to contact analysts?

Networking is really nothing more than making friends. Do you intend to hold off on making any new friends until the start of next semester?

 

Gotta be honest with you, I looked at your past posts and you are definitely not getting a BB internship anytime soon. Your grades are mediocre and from what it looks like, you have no experience. Don't set your sights too high, you'll only end in disappointment.

Also, if you think you're the only kid asking MDs and analysts for information sessions, you are horribly mistaken

 

Strong first post, dude.

It's just a job that thousands of people are employed in. It's not like I'm trying to become President. Lol. Some people on this forum exaggerate way too much.

 

"Strong first post." you awarE?

The difference between successful people and others is largely a habit - a controlled habit of doing every task better, faster and more efficiently.
