WHAT DO PEOPLE MEAN BY NETWORKING
Hello dear friends (you’re all my friends here),
I am currently in the 4th year of my 5-year degree (Master’s in Finance) at Dauphine and currently on a gap year.
I, like pretty much 80% of people pursuing a Master’s in Finance, would like to break into IB, naturally, I applied, applied, applied with a cover letter, applied by mail, any form you can think of, but without a chance.
When talking to people, they unanimously say that you need to NETWORK.
So I talked to people on LinkedIn, showing my genuine interest in what they do and ask them to chat a bit more to better know what they expect from an intern, most of them don’t reply.
I understand, long, stressful hours, the last thing you want to do is give a random student 15 minutes of your time that will probably ask the same stupid questions as everyone, but I genuinely don’t understand how to network then.
I feel that it must come naturally, you meet someone somewhere, they have the same vibe, so you talk and get contact, but I don’t know how you can network with a COMPLETE stranger.
I need you to please guide me, or just straight up let’s network right here right now: - Im at Dauphine - I have experience in Private Debt and Investment Analysis - I’m interested in Infrastructure, Emerging Markets (I have experience both in equity and debt investing in African Infrastructure
caveat: im from the usa so idk how things work in france so take this with a grain of salt
