What else can I do to make sure I don't screw up?
Maybe the networking is successful because he sees something in common or interesting about your background? Check his LinkedIn or news about the firm and especially his group, if you have not done so. Find common ground to build rapport.
Classinc networking, ask to be introduced to more junior people in the group.
Is that more helpful in terms of getting an interview?
I don’t think that MDs are involved in the recruiting process- at least at my firm it’s usually analysts-vp doing it, they may just do one interview in the final round.
