MM S&T SA --> BB FT

Hey guys,

Just looking for anyone who has made the jump from a boutique or middle-market sales and trading summer analyst program to a BB full time. My plan this summer (behind obviously securing a FT offer from my MM) is to start cold emailing specific associates on credit trading desks and build my network until the first week of August. My hope is to focus on high yield desks, because that's the product I'm most interested in, and I'm wondering if this will give me an advantage because it's specific.

Looking for some challenges I should prepare for, or general advice... for NYC.

Background: Math Major 3.4 GPA semi-target
