I’ve been actively networking and have had several great calls with analysts and associates. This week, I’ll be hopping on my first call with a senior professional (10+ years of experience) at a major investment bank.
Would really appreciate any advice on how to approach this conversation differently than I would with more junior contacts. What kind of questions tend to resonate better with someone at that level? Any do’s and don’ts?
Thanks in advance!
