Networking With More Senior People

Hi all,

I'm currently a rising sophomore interested in a BB's sophomore program next summer, and have been networking with alum over the past few weeks. I've been prepared for all the phone calls and had solid questions prepared, however as I start to network with the more senior people, I was wondering if I may be asked any technical questions. Given I just completed my freshman year, I am still in the process of learning a lot of modeling and technical skills this summer so that I can be prepared if I'm offered an interview slot. Is it best to wait to reach out to the more senior folks once I am more prepared in terms of techs, or is it a good idea to just reach out now and early?
