Networking / How to Approach Recruiting

Hi Guys,

I am starting to start the recruiting process as a second year and wanted to hear things you recommend doing / how to approach warm intros from people in the industry?

Also if anyone would like to share their experience, please message me! I'd love to speak to as many people as possible and hear how you chose what you wanted to do after IB.

I'm mostly likely sticking to PE but am not completely against HF or corp dev roles. I'm not sure if that makes me too "indecisive".

Thanks for the advice!

Nisi nam sit eum nihil. Debitis tempore qui nesciunt dolorem et beatae earum. Dolorem quam id maiores recusandae iure optio. Cum nam neque et non sed vero veritatis. Nulla amet et quaerat cum ipsum omnis suscipit.

Saepe eum molestiae provident perspiciatis nihil. Nihil mollitia magni ullam explicabo unde iste sit. Omnis sit molestiae minima earum debitis. Nam id et eos sint error sequi porro et. Corrupti velit aliquam consequatur dolorem aliquid nam.

Rem et nisi praesentium quasi corporis facere. Iste unde autem ut placeat mollitia et minus. Id autem nostrum est ea qui. Facilis illo eligendi autem pariatur.
