How many networking emails do bankers receive?
I’m sure this varies by group, the school they attended, geography, etc. But just curious if anyone in the industry wanted to share how many cold emails from college students they receive per week on average.
Following this thread.
In my case including emails + cold calls + linkedin messages I would say 10-15 during April-June when people start preparing to apply and then July-August this becomes much more frequent.
Then again in January you stop receiving them and you may get 0-2 per week maximum. This is kind of cyclical
Out of curiosity, how many do you respond to/how do you decide who you respond to? I imagine most bankers don't have times for more than 1-2 calls a week.
if you don’t mind sharing, what is your level of seniority? do you think VPs get hit up more than MDs or junior bankers?
I am close to becoming an associate (already got the offer but will have to wait some months, nonetheless got an offer for the buyside to change in 1y so lets see what happens, Covid is making me to change my views)
Usually MDs dont tend to have these calls unless a they are referred by some of the team.
Senior analysts and Associstes tend to have most networking calls in my experience, and those who are good are referred to VPs or other A&As
I usually check their Linkedins, if I see their profiles can match our requirements I try to have a brief call (15mins) if its a stellar candidate I usually try to spend around 30-45mins
Some weeks I have no calls and some others I may have 4-5. Most of the times at 1am or weekends tho, candidates usually are willing to adapt to our working schedules and shows real interest in the firm if they are ok with that
