As a current BAML employee

1. Please don't email random people that you haven't met. Message them on LinkedIn instead - Much less creepy

2. In the event you do know them - No one uses @BAML anymore, but the emails will still go through if that employee was there pre-2019 (i.e. if you correctly use their [email protected] then [email protected] will also work)

Have seen some weird emails ([email protected], for example)

Happy to DM you if you want to chat more

 

Fair enough - the language was a bit strong, but principle still applies. Most analysts and associates don't want to be dinged on their email unless they give it to you.

If you really want a response, find people at the firm that have things in common with you (college / home town / anything else that is on their linkedin) and craft a personal message based on your similarities (not the blast email that you send to all other bankers changing the person and banks name).

Feel free to continue sending out emails, just what I have observed over 3 years.
