RE: Cold Emailing (as a 1st Year) - How to be successful?

Hey - I'm interested in securing some summer insights (post-spring week cycle next year) and wanted to know how to best prepare to cold-email IB firms.

I want to get the following out of this :

1) How to find BBs in London, to email in the first place.

2) Finding a successful technique/method to even begin emailing/making a network/contacts etc.

looking to understand people's opinions, & tried out methods on how to cold-email to effectively land 1st year summer insights (and eventually try keep in touch with them for Summer analyst roles etc.).

I'm entering uni 2024 so I will be just looking to prep in advance / further reading prior to actually trying.

Thank you for that.

 

How about cold emailing for summer insight roles (& onwards)?

I was referring to this in the post, my apologies for not making it clear.
