Networking Starting from December

I am a university student who wants to start networking with professionals in IB. I was wondering if now (nearing Christmas) is a good time to start networking or whether I should wait until after the New Year as people might be away or not check their emails.

I know this is a trivial question but any insight would be helpful. Thank you.

I’m in the same boat, I’m waiting until school starts again to talk with people, I figure they kind of “forget” over the break.

Taking this time to relax and catch up on studying for interviews.

 

If I were you I would start now, worst case scenario is that they don’t respond. There are so many people in banking that it doesn’t matter if a few people don’t like that you reached out only a couple weeks before Christmas
