2022 Full Time (FT) Recruiting?

Hi everyone, first time poster here but I am definitely long time lurker. I am currently a junior looking to break into IB however I completely missed the recruiting cycle for 2021 SA. Amidst all the covid-related chaos, I admit was frankly intimidated by all the networking and studying that needed to be done so I didn't even try and thought I would just go down the consulting route. Once I realized that I fell behind, it was too late and most of the firms had finished recruiting for 2021 SA. As I go into this summer and my senior year, how do I position myself best? Does anyone know when the FT process for 2022? Beyond networking, what tips do you all have for recruiting FT? Anyone here in the same position and what are your plans?Any insights here would be great, thanks in advance!

FT recruiting is a different animal. Typically it happens in the fall of senior year after return offers expire (so hard to leverage any offers you may have). This year was a bit crazy due to the uncertainties with the pandemic. Only a few banks held small processes in the fall, and then a bunch went during the spring (some even still interviewing kids). Networking is much more important for full-time and it's very important to get a referral. Some banks do group specific processes, others like Barclays and Morgan Stanley have generalist processes with group placement in the spring/summer. 

 

Is it safe to network with my work email (a BB) or should I stick to using my school email?
