Can't you just say "I spoke with some analysts/associates/VPs" rather than going full autistic?
I disagree with you honestly. I think it’s better to say who you spoke to…
Only if they ask I'd say, unless he spoke to an MD
I would sprinkle it in casually, maybe 1-2 solid contacts.
It’s common if not expected to mention those with whom you have spoken
I mentioned the names of the people I talked to in the firm who I’d “let 'em eat my ass like a cupcake” but did not get the job
