Resume in cold email?
I’m sending cold emails for IB 2026 internships. At this later stage, should I attach my resume? Will attachments get flagged in their systems? I ask as I know some companies put emails with attachments in spam.

Better to include.
So no risk of it getting out to spam because I include an attachment?
Bump
I've always found that I get more responses when I attach my resume. However, my boy summered at JPM and he said that attachments get flagged. Guess it depends on the bank.
I get so many emails from students every day and every single one of them attaches their resume. You wouldn’t want to be the one person who doesn’t. Also the resume is the only unique part of the cold email.
how do you choose which you actually respond to
Honestly whoever has the strongest connection to me in terms of school or other involvements... thought I would respond to more as an undergrad but when i'm going through it at work the last thing I want is more meetings.
