What Does Your Book of Contacts Look like?
I am wondering what other peoples' networks look like in IB. Mainly interested in responses from the analyst and associate level folk. For reference I am an incoming intern. My interest in this stems from the amount of internal/closed hiring for middle level folk. I know of a few groups which heavily rely on their current analysts and associates to get talent.
(Excluded those from my own firm)
Personal Friends: (call to talk about personal stuff as well as professional and true friends)
2 MDs, 2 associate, 5 analysts
Close acquaintances: (meet with at least twice a year which each call lasting over an hour)
2 VP, 4 associates, 20 analysts
acquaintances: (interacted with more than 3 times or they could speak to my work ethic / work product) (one time networking call do not count)
1 MD, 1 endowment head, 2 VP, 3-4 associates, maybe 15 analysts (through some work intensive student orgs)
That’s impressive. Check mine.
SnappyBird44’s Book:
Sick dude. Literally have no idea if my book is good or not, which was why I was asking. Definitely not trying to brag or flex. Just looking for more data points.
How do you have two MDs as close personal friends
Unless you guys regularly hang out, I think you’re overestimating “close”
Also why is “Close acquaintance” defined as someone you see twice a year, but just normal “acquaintance” you see 3 times a year..?
Pls fix
My bad for not clarifying. The real difference between who I counted as acquaintances versus close acquaintances was the likelihood of getting a resume push. Close acquaintances are people I have had large amounts of some type of work/club/society experience with, in addition to generally being more friendly with them than normal acquaintances.
The times I speak with them a year was a bad metric in hindsight.
So fellow intern, what's your book look like?
Bump
Is it normal to have these levels of closeness? Aside from upperclassmen friends, my contacts are just people who I've hit up for junior summer recruiting, talked once, and added them on LinkedIn. Haven't talked to any of them since...
