Sending Holiday Emails after Signing SA Offer?
Signed an offer at an EB earlier this year. Should I send holiday emails to people who supported me there?

What?!?! This is the BARE MINIMUM which will end up with you being labeled as a bottom bucket SA.
AT LEAST send your team and HR a flower bouquet, a Christmas gift basket, and a cheese board accompanied by a Dom Pérignon.
Remember to send these gifts individually to EACH employee and in your Holiday letter make sure to write at least 5 reasons why you are grateful for them.
Wouldn’t do this unless you’re really close with someone / texting basis. Even then, probably not. More to lose than to gain imo
What if it's a follow up like "I've been up to this lately"? Then ending with "happy holidays!"?
Still probably no unless you landed like a major internship or job change otherwise not really important enough
Second the post above- way more to lose than gain. You can reach out to network just to learn more about the group, deals, etc but don't try to make it some personal email about the holiday.

They likely couldn't care less what you've been up to lately (I would only provide if they reply asking how the semester has been). But if you did have a lot of correspondence with someone or if you think someone went to bat for you to get the offer, then an email couldn't hurt.
I would say there's really no need for this. Comes across fairly try hard although its a nice gesture. It's just not necessary so don't overthink things.
Don't do this unless you text with them regularly, like multiple times a month. I've been "instrumental" in getting multiple people offers. First of all, they deserved it and so did you, it's not like they handed you the offer. For the people I helped, I just want them to have fun until summer and then show up ready to work! I really don't care what they did junior fall (not to be rude, but in banking you help out a lot of potential summers)
The idea is nice, but it can come off as hardo and no one is waiting around for your email if you don't send it. Just do your best this summer and don't go overboard.
