How to Network during VIRTUAL 2020 S&T Summer?????
Given that most BB S&T internships this summer are virtual, how would you guys advise trading interns to effectively network with senior traders, since it is not possible to meet anyone in person on the trading floor?
Get on the phone with analysts from each desk and figure out what the junior traders care about in their specific product, slowly move your way up to VPs/MDs. Before summer ends, have a couple people who would go out of your way to make sure you’re one of those who get a return. Good luck ;)
Two tips:
I also like the idea of starting low on the totem and building your way up over the summer. Though higher lvl ppl may talk to you (b/c they're nice) it's a lot easier if you already have spoken to my junior cause I will get feedback from him/her about you beforehand.
