Networking - On the weekend Vs. during week
So I have done some networking in the past and in person networking, and always have met during the week- maybe met one banker on a sat but rare. Do you think bankers will be willing to meet on weekends for coffee chats if that is the only time I can go due to classes?
Don't ask to meet bankers on the weekends. That's literally all the time they have to themselves (and not always) so it won't work in your favor to ask for that time. Just my opinion.
I would never suggest/request meeting for a coffee chat on a weekend. I have had the occasional networking phone call on a weekend day, but that was always at the banker's suggestion, not mine. Keep in mind that they're doing you a favor by meeting with you for networking purposes, so you should accommodate their schedule rather than asking them to work around yours.
networking on a weekend (Originally Posted: 07/15/2011)
When meeting up on a weekend, should you dress up? From the email it doesn't sound like he is working because he wants to meet up kinda far from where he works (he is in IBD though). Or at least he'll come after he finishes for the day, but what should I wear? Any thoughts?
i did a meeting a few weeks ago on a saturday, he told me he was going to be dressed casually (which he was) I just wore business casual.
Agreed. I'd go at least business casual.
wear a tux
For networking events, business casual. But always be networking and meeting people. Always.

Lol just to update, I get there wearing business casual, he's wearing a polo, plaid shorts and sandals. First thing he says is hope you didn't get dressed up just for me (laughing though). hahaha. Worrying over nothing.
