Re-connecting

So it's been a while...maybe too long...

Sincere apologies to anyone who's been trying to get in touch via WSO reply's or private message but I basically took a long vacation from WSO and most other social media over the last few years.

It's been great to see so many of you benefiting from my interviewing and job posts, landing great IB jobs, and succeeding in your work.

Rather than try to get through responding to all of the messages in my WSO inbox I went ahead and created a new gmail address:

[email protected]

If you have any questions or upcoming interviews please feel free to ping that address and I'll try and check it at least once a week. If a matter is urgent please write that in the subject line and I'll do my best to respond quickly (but no promises).

All the best,
frgna

 

Ask how they are doing, what is going on in their life, what you are up to and would they like to grab a beer or coffee one day to meet up? TBH I really only speak with my mentors every 3 months or so.

Just contact them, it hasn't been that long. It's not like they've been desperately waiting for your calls and you blew them off.

Yeah I have no problem contacting them, I just want to know how to do it. Should I start a new email chain or go back and dig up the last time I spoke to them?

 

He knows that you're pretty much worthless to him so there's no point in sugarcoating it. You've done a good job by networking in advance of needing his help so just maintain a cordial relationship with him and you're doing about all you can.

Drop him notes letting him know how you're doing, what you've been up to, and anything you think he might find interesting (it doesn't have to be an article, could just be a piece of info). Ask how work is for him. Doing that will show that you genuinely mean well and will keep the relationship strong.
