(Junior here applying for SA positions from semi-target)
• Met the MD of an elite boutique at my school. Enjoyed talking to him and he said to follow-up.
• Organized info interview - "you got an impressive resume, Ambani. happy to help!"
• Said thanks. He replied positively and asked to stay in touch.
After
• Emailed "how could I best position myself to secure an interview" etc.
• Ignored.
• Follow-up.
• Ignored.
• It's been quite a while
• Same story with a couple few influential guys.
Where am I going wrong? How did you guys do it?
He could just be busy, but either way I would talk to other bankers and such
Yeah maybe just busy. Also, perhaps one single informational interview isn't building a positive enough relationship to make them want to help you get an interview etc. Could be wrong, so ask others, but in my personal experience opinion I haven't/wouldn't ask anyone for something like that until I knew them a little bit better. I, however, strongly prefer quality rather than quantity when networking- I'm not one of those guys with an excel spreadsheet with thousands of names on it- so take my opinion as you will.
Sorry my bro, wish it were the exception, but it seems to be the norm. Keep networking with others until they bite.
Have to be persistent, in terms of reaching back to the same person, and reaching out to as many people as possible.
