the new "email template"
I was scrolling through Instagram last night and found this video about how to send a coffee chat to a banker and I was shocked… when I used to recruit I’d say smth along the lines ‘im very interested, would love to learn about your group, your journey and any advice’ and received many replies even as a non-target but bro this email template seems to be the new norm you better take some notes… and don’t forget the m&a pitch attached🤣
npc behavior 😂😂
being an npc is nice tbh. it makes life so much easier and straightforward and eliminates the possibility to do or say something wrong.
The fuck with the r-square part?
How well a regression fits the data.
Usually used in econometrics.
Incredibly overkill and lame to use here.

“Decrypt “ 😂😂 imagine hearing your email notifications and this essay pops up. I would be p**
I'm gonna nix this approach right here. I made this mistake myself, but attaching anything more than a resume for a first coffee chat is just not going to help getting someone on the phone. This so-called coffee chat tempate violates the number one rule: Keep It Simple, Stupid (K.I.S.S.) principle. You shouldn't include more than three sentences for an email since industry professionals are busy and impatient.
If the banker agreed to a call, great, show off your mining coverage knowledge or ask about the deal, but doing that here is not going to help. And if someone comes back to me and says "But John Smith is doing this and he looks more prepared than I am". I respond by saying that networking is a bit of persistence and luck, you can send out many more requests keeping it to a simple email tailored to the individual by highlighting his position or bank than using this approach.
All in all, this tik-tok email template will not work and may actively harm some candidates that think they need to create a full on pitch book for each bank or sector they want to work in.
agreed. this is a horrible template. I can tell you we oftentimes have to teach our students inside academy to keep it simple but be politely persistent...
also, don't do what 90% of other candidates do and wait until recruiting season to start "networking" when it's 3x as hard to get someone on the phone :)
Let the tik tok kids keep sending out dumb emails like this lol
If someone mentions R-Squared that email is getting deleted. Also that much random formatting in an intro email makes it look like LinkedIn spam.
I just make what my bosses want look pretty, it’s not that deep
Nv
Read email
I’d respect the hustle but def not normal
Maybe just try something like:
Title: Coffee on Me?
Then 2-3 sentences on you and them and asking for a chat. Dont even include a resume they’ll ask for it if they care but do put like a free Uber eats or Starbucks gift card as something you’ll give them after the chat to appreciate their time. They probably won’t care but people remember those little things.
Dude sending an email to someone offering a gift card if they talk to you is incredibly unprofessional and just straight up weird. People in IB get paid at least 6 figures and you, a random student with $0 income, want to give them a gift card?
This is not good advice; Always attach your resume
delete your account - no way you're a VP anywhere
He just wants free gift cards
To be fair, AM is very different from IB. What works in one may not work in the other
I have always hated when people ask to “jump on a quick call” or “hop on a quick call”. People use the phrase all the time, I just hate it.
Would advise to shorten the email and keep it simple. No need to over engineer the body (re: r square part). Tbh, message sounds very robotic.
I swear there’s a kid using AI to mass email
There is actually a service in Canada that offers that be aware bankers. They charge like crazy to students 😭
While I can't speak for all senior people, to me its so cringe when people try to work in mkt talk into some coffee chat request or even an in person meeting. I know you dont know shit and that's expected. Really just want a positive attitude and a willingness to work hard and learn. Nothing more.
Smartest BCI intern
There are levels to this comment lmao
Immediate garbage, serial killer type email.
I also really hate when people use the word "kindly" in emails, just reads extremely passive aggressive to me.
Between the ESL signals, the weird use of sir, and the canadian dollars this is clearly an international student. I can't imagine someone responding to that.
Hit em with the “UNSUBSCRIBE”
No one is reading that

We’re all thinking it
Hey LowCaliber what's the most prestigious email format (i.e. what did you use to land a top group like GS TMT/PJT RSSG/RBC Power and Utilities)?
Why reinvent the wheel.
