Junior in college told me he had done 100+ coffee chats?
A junior at my alma mater messaged me on Linkedin for a coffee chat and showed me a spreadsheet of his recruiting/networking progress and he legitimately has done over 100 coffee chats, not to mention several times more in calls/emails/etc. Is this the norm now?
How many interviews did he get from those / how many firms did he network with
Sounds like nyu
Yeah I had a coffee chat with an NYU guy the other day and he told me he did over 100 loll
As a junior I can confirm for non diversity and non nepo baby’s this is likely what it takes.
Facts
Can confirm as well. Non-div non-target did ~140 networking calls leading up to recruiting.
Non-target and non-div and have done 110 chats so far. Most of those who place that I know did 100+ too
Below average for juniors (who are serious for finance), I probably did ~50 in my freshman year and ~200 in my current sophomore year, I can expect to do probably 500+ (excluding in-person coffee chats) once I graduate
Oh just saw that this is for in-person, my college isn't near a financial hub and I'm not sweaty enough to do weekend networking trips like a nerd with no social life so can't attest to whether 100+ is a lot or not, but sounds like the equivalent of doing a couple weekend trips a year
Rookie numbers, 2-300 is the norm for Non Target, Non Diversity, Non Nepo
call
Bring in pre-application finance exams! There’s no reason anyone should be chatting with over 100+ people just to get their foot into the door for an interview
Sounds like you went to a target school lol
100+ calls, not that crazy
100+ in person chats, crazy
Whether or not that is the norm… what is the actual utility in that?
looking back, I could have done a lot less chats if I knew how to go through them like I do now (prob less than 20-30 to get an offer). but hindsight bias, as you should always cast the widest net possible when networking.
semi target non diversity here - did 200~ chats in total to get an offer
non-target here: 100+ is pretty low
Why are you acting surprised lol. This is the bare minimum for the most of us
Was 100 in-person, not 100 total calls
