Networking Before Summer Analyst Internship Starts

How far in advance of the internship start date should you start internally networking with your group? What are the general expectations around this practice— would you say an intern is at a disadvantage if they don't network enough before hitting the desk? This is for summer 2024, appreciate all advice.

You posted a week ago that you are also starting in summer 2024. Are you just making shit up?

 

How does that have anything to do with me making shit up?

I could be doing an internship in my final year where my friends have started working and completed internships? I could be on Industrial Placement? I could be referring to an Off-cycle?

I think you should pay attention to this thread & the advice instead of what I am posting.
