Cold Emailing Montreal
Looking to get into banking here in Canada and have been suggested to reach out to bankers in Montreal since I speak French. Just wondering on the Montreal environment there - do they all primarily speak french to each other or a mix of French and English or just English? I did a little corporate stint in Montreal but my office primarily spoke English so wondering if the banks operate similarly.
I am primarily debating if I should reach out with a cold email in french? I personally prefer speaking English.
I come from an English speaking university but have a French Baccalaureate (Native French). I am a little out of practice tho - only speaking it at home with one of my parents and their friends.
I was hoping someone who worked in Montreal could provide color on this.
Hi Prospect in Other, whoops, looks like nobody chimed in here.... maybe one of these discussions below is relevant:

A strong cold email should be customized to the person you are targeting, brief, have a clear ask/call to action, and a catchy subject line. Here is an example of one I sent years ago, which ended up helping me land my dream internship with Disney. Now, keep in mind I sent this email 2+ years ago with lil peep clothes he wore.
There's a mix. Generally speaking practically everyone speaks some degree of french, but anglos are somewhat over represented and some of them speak pretty terrible french, despite growing up in Montreal. I would just start in French and see where it goes.

Stick with English, there is no one in the IB/Banking industry that doesn't speak English, however I know a couple who don't speak french
