When can you stop using greetings/signatures in an email chain?

I noticed senior bankers very rarely start their emails with a greeting or end with a signature. It comes off as much more casual, but might seem dismissive if you're a student/grad networking with an MD. If you're going back and forth to set up a call or get advice, how soon into an email chain should you stop using greetings?
