How many people should I reach out to for each bank?

I’ve compiled 35ish banks to apply to for IB SA26 internships. How many people should I reach out to network with from each bank? Also, what should the breakdown be among the level of seniority? For exmaple should it be 1 VP or higher and 2 associates or lower?

To clarify, I’m not taking abt chats with people at the banks. I’m taking about how many people to email from each bank

 

Happy to help - yes, that seems totally normal. You just need one of them to hop on the phone and have a good conversation with them. Then, at the end of a solid call, request to be passed along to someone else to chat with. If you have had a few good touch points, you should be in a good spot for a first round. Being at a target will help a lot. A good GPA and some basic finance experience / previous internships will also go a long way
