Time for networking in December and January

Hi everyone,

I am transferring to a target school (with strong alumni presence in Asia and EMEA) next semester and I am thinking of networking over this winter holiday (mid dec to early jan).

I would like to explore opportunities in Asia (HK/SG) and EMEA (London/Dubai). I was wondering what would be the best time to reach out to them over the phone/in person as I am afraid many of the bankers/consultants are taking time off during that time.

Also, would linkedin be better than emailing them?

Thank you so much!!!
