Thanksgiving emails to alumni? Keep in touch for FT recruiting?
I have an SA 2021 gig at an MM (very lucky), and I'm hoping to lateral FT to a BB/EB after the SA gig is done. During this past summer, I have networked a lot with alumni from the BB's and EB's but had no luck.
Should I send out a holiday email to them for Thanksgiving? Assuming the initial networking call/email was average (nothing too good/bad), would you like to see a holiday email from an undergraduate you spoke with 5 months ago?
Also:
1) What should I include in the email? Anything else besides: (thanks for the help, happy Thanksgiving, please keep in touch)?
2) Should I disclose that I'll be going to the MM for this summer?
3) If yes, how should I word it? "I'm going to MM next summer, but would love to stay connected and apply to [your firm] next year?" A bit afraid of being snitched, but also want them to keep me in mind. Please help me finesse, WSO.
Thank you!

Feel like opinions would differ but personally would find it a bit too cheesy/weird.
Maybe followup after the new years as a check-in (2021 recruiting was only 1-3 months ago afterall)
Thanks for your input! I'm planning to apply FT so I figured after the New Year's is when I'll jumpstart my FT networking efforts again. By then I would have to make explicit my intention of jumping ship, simultaneously with letting them know what I'm up to this summer.
So basically I'd be telling them "I'm going to MM this summer but btw I don't like the MM lol do you have any spot FT at your firm?" Would that be a turnoff?
That's a big turn-off, don't be so explicit in saying you don't like it at your MM. You need to make it more what you like about their bank more.
Yes that would
