Just became an An1 so I cannot generalize, but I would like to talk about something interesting like backgrounds and interests. I feel like "what do you do in investment banking?" is something that is googleable and I already know the only reason you are calling is for a referral. Help our conversation be interesting and engaging, and I would be more likely to give you a referral.
