Network Etiquette - S&T To IB

Hey WallStreetOasis,

Hope y'all are well. Let's say an alumni from my school put me in touch with their colleagues in S&T. I had a good conversation with them and they ended the meeting with typical jargon: "You have my email," "Let me know if we can be of any help," etc. I made it clear during the convo that my interest is in banking. My goal is to break into IB and the firm is small enough that all the divisions are familiar with each other. Do y'all have any ideas on how I can use my connections in S&T to get into IB in a mannerly way?

Thanks

If you are still a student, you can definitely tell one of them that you are currently exploring different career paths and would love to speak to someone in IB to answer your questions. Then ask if they know anyone there and put you in touch.
