Thoughts on making ~100 applications for SA

Saw this advice on Linkedin (cough Sameer Merchant) but is there any value in making that many applications? I understand it’s a numbers game but are people tailoring their applications to where they’re applying?

I’m personally aiming to make around 30-40 ish apps to M&A firms. Should I apply to more banks?

You can apply to 100 firms and get zero interviews. Quality over quantity. If you establish connections at 10 places you are more likely to land a seat than if you randomly apply to 100.
