Low response rate during corona.. keep networking?

Hey all,

I have been trying to network within my team (not too big.. PubFin) before the summer to get my name out there, but haven't had much success with getting people on the phone. As the team is on the leaner end of the spectrum... do you think it is ok if I continue to send out emails or should I give it a break? Last thing I want to do is come off as an obsessive psycho intern.

Thanks for your help

To clarify, you are already an incoming intern and are just concerned about getting the full time seat so want to network with the group before the summer spot?

If that's the case, I'd back off. While it's impossible to say how these summer programs will really work at each respective place, I would imagine that they will have some kinda of digital networking that full times will be forced into. You don't want to force it now.

Just my thought. Good luck!
