I recently secured an offer at an LMM boutique firm for SA 2025 but would like to go elsewhere for FT (I will still take the SA position seriously as I need a return offer). When would it be appropriate to start networking with other banks? My career center is telling me to start now but I am not sure as I feel it's too early. Would like to hear other inputs. Thank you all for the advice!
