When to do what? Timeline?

I know there are probably hundreds of posts out there answering this but I want an updated version. What is the timeline for recruiting? When do I need to do what? When should I network? Study technicals? When how do I cold email? Who should I cold email? I’m a sophomore at a non target. I know I could look all this up but still asking. Thanks.

If only there was an entire site that had all of the answers to these questions at the tip of your fingers…

Until then, enjoy Big4 Audit!
