Based on the most helpful WSO content, here’s a quick tip for networking during full-time recruiting:

  1. Network Across All Levels: Don’t just aim for senior bankers. Analysts and associates are often directly involved in recruiting, and building relationships with them can be more impactful. Plus, they’ll likely rise in their careers, making your network stronger over time.

  2. Get Creative: Even if you’re from a non-target school, look for alumni in related fields like accounting or law. They can provide valuable insights and connections.

  3. Avoid Common Mistakes: Never ask about compensation during networking—it’s a surefire way to leave a bad impression.

Good luck with your recruiting! Keep hustling, and remember, persistence and creativity are key.
