How to approach reaching out/networking again?
Hi everyone, hope everyone is having a great Christmas.
I had a question regarding approaching networking to my "former" colleagues. I will be joining a regional team FT (SF/Dallas/Chicago). I originally interned at the same bank (BB) in NYC where I was born and raised. I did not receive a return offer on the team I interned on due to headcount rather than performance. My manager worked with me to get me an offer on the west coast team. While I am excited to live in a new place (lived in NYC my entire life excluding college), and am grateful to have an offer in these turbulent times, I do not see myself living my life in this city. I am a New Yorker in all my behaviors, mannerisms, and preferences and fully wish to raise my children in NYC (within the borough I grew up in, not suburbs like Westchester, NJ, or LI). As my longtime GF will also be working in NYC at another BB, I wish to return to NYC as soon as possible. How should I approach networking/setting myself up for this move? Should I be reaching out to team members on the team I interned on and talk to them? What timeline should I be targeting? Thank you again for all your assistance and happy holidays!
You probably need to wait a year to lateral internally - both from a minimum acceptable time perspective and often firm policy. If you see other firm's job postings you can jump after 6 months or so, but there is no real path to an immediate lateral especially within the same firm
Understanding that, how does internal lateraling generally work? Is it simply seeing an internal job board post for a desired position in NYC and talking to my current manager about that and going through the process there. Or should I try and network/maintain relationships with my former team so that I can get any openings before there is an internal job posting? Not sure how integral networking is given I am already in the firm.
