Then it's definitely email.
Post template so we can determine. I cold email all the time and my success rate is around 30-40% in terms of at least a response.
Pm'ing you my template.
Analysts are probably swamped right now with networking calls, and an email from somebody they don't know/not from their alma mater is probably at the bottom of their list
I'm emailing associates + VPs. I read a thread on WSO to target them for cold emails given that analysts have almost no pull in the interview process at most places.
Highly doubt an Associate or VP will respond unless you mention in your email the name of an analyst that recommended you reach out to them. From my networking experience, I only got responses if I started at the analyst level and moved up, and that included alumni from my school and IB program
Tweak the email using feedback here and follow up. I usually have to email strangers 2 or 3 times asking for a call/meeting before they respond. As Trippy Taco said, don't take it personally, they are probably buried with work.
Can you link me to specific threads that have good templates/advice/feedback etc.? I'm currently using a tailored mix of M&I and WSO templates.
Update: pmed a couple of people of my template and got feedback that it is very good.
so i guess maybe its who I'm targeting? Maybe time of the day?
Would you mind PM'ing me this template?
update 2: Potential game changer: I've been cold e-mailing their work e-mails. I find their name/group on linkedin, then write it in an excel spreadsheet, get bank e-mail format, and send them a cold email to their work email from my uni email. Should I be sending linkedin messages instead?
update: got my first response lol
