Rising sophomore here. Was wondering if we should start to network right now or if that will come off wrong. Was told that it might put some people off as a non-diversity to be networking since it's taking away from diversity recruits and also might come off as hardo. Any insight would be appreciated.

Rising non-diversity soph here. I still don't understand the "you'll look like a hardo" comments; many of the bankers I have spoken to have explicitly complimented me for reaching out this early and told me that I'm "doing the right thing."
Also, I seriously have no idea how diversity plays into this; one of my female friends is also networking right now, and being a woman has had pretty much no impact on that. I've even been encouraged to apply to diversity-focused (but not exclusive) programs by people who knew I was non-diverse.
