Asking For a Job Shadow Day

I met a trader who works for a BB last fall, and we have been emailing back and forth periodically about different events and strategies. I am wanting to ask for a job shadow day, but I don't know they work at BB, and I don't want to sound dumb and ruin my future chances for networking purposes. Anyone have any advice on how to go about it?

It is unlikely that they will accept dude... You cannot just come work at a bank for one day without a shit ton of paperwork, due to HR / Compliance issues. Usually people are doing this as part of the "spring weeks" or other structured schemes.

Just my 2 cents. It might just be better to ask him for a coffee / ask him to introduce you to some other traders. This way, you actually are doing effective networking.
