Zero Response to my Lateral Outreach
I have reached out to over 100 people to network in hopes of getting into a lateral process and have not gotten even one response.
For context I am coming from a lower BB in a solid group and I attended a semi-target and have a respectable GPA. My outreach is cold as the groups I am targeting don’t have a ton of alumni but still not sure why I haven’t even gotten one response.
Anyone have experience lateraling from a good bank to a great bank? Care to share how you got people on the phone? Feels like it was so much easier when I was a student…
I wouldn’t take offense to it. I haven’t been answering because my group isn’t hiring and don’t want to waste anyone’s time. Not going to put that in email though.
yea this is how it is. no sense in talking if we arent hiring. i would try and tap into your current network and foster those relationships
Wouldn’t take it personally. I would just follow-up with some of them in a few weeks. Spots sometimes open in the middle/end of the summer, so they’ll likely respond to inbounds once they have the green light from the group/hr to start a process.
