Coffee chat in London?

Do investment bankers actually have time or willing to put effort into connecting with students or fresh graduates? What's in for them? If not what is the best way to network from a student perspective with no direct connection with the industry who is trying to avoid a cold application.

Any application advice are welcomed

Are we from the same niche country? Did we go to the same high school? Do we have common close friends? Did you write a well-written email and not the most generic crap ever? Do you have an interesting background?

If the answer is yes to these questions, then I would have a coffee catch-up. If not, then no.
