Meeting Coworkers at Your Bank

Here's the scenario:

I am doing Middle Office Ops. this summer for a top BB (GS/MS) but I am obviously more interested in getting a FT offer for Front Office.

I have already met some of the traders that I support and they are very cordial and inviting. However, I definitely want to meet some bankers.

What is the best possible way for going about this? Should I go to the floor after the more senior people have left (9pm or later). I would like to talk with some analysts/associates and offer my help to them in any way.

I feel that I am very qualified (resume) and would like to increase my chances as much as possible. I also want to make sure that I am very appropriate with the process and do not offend anyone.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

so my friend was working in London one summer and would just look up names of analysts working in other groups. this way, she'd just write to these people [asking about informational interviews, but] really just to get to know the business. at the end of the day, you can make some good friends just by randomly writing and being genuinely interested in who they are.
