Too early?
Is it too early for me (a rising sophomore) to start reaching out to investment bankers for networking. I was told by my career counselor that right now isn't a good time as they are still recruiting summer analysts who are rising juniors and I would not be a priority for them. Is this true? If so, what would be a good time to start networking?
I guess it's up to you, but from personal experience the earlier you start reaching out to network, the harder it is to maintain those relationships as you actually start recruiting. Since you're a year out, that means you'd have to network and periodically keep in touch with all these people for an entire year
