What do I want for networking and connections I make at this stage in life? (Between HS & UG)
I have written the beginning and end of the follow up email I intend on sending to a connection I made recently. The connections isn't great in terms of investment banking, but she is very senior and did college recruiting at Bain in the late 80's.
The problem is that I don't really know what would be appropriate for me to ask for as a highschool student ( starting UG in june). Connections to other more finance centric individuals? Programs and potential internship opportunities that I could apply for or be referred to?
I am going to need some sort of experience to make it into the hyper competitive investment banking club at my Uni so maybe asking about programs and internship/job opportunities should be my utmost priority.
Or should I just leave it at thanking her for her time and guidance, then follow up in the future when I would be eligible for more opportunities.
Also, I made another connection who worked a BO job in tech at a BB. Is this just as strong/weak of a connection as the one mentioned above? Should I ask anything different of her? She too is very senior and is currently in a finance position at a foundation.
The best thing you can do at this stage is tell them what you're interested in and ask for advice. That conversation should open up the doors you want
They are already very much aware of my interests.
Did you ask them for advice? What did they say? Ask them to connect you to someone they think may be able to help you learn more about your specific interest. Rinse and repeat until you get to where you want to be..
