I've had some informational phone calls with some analysts and I want to know what I should say in a follow up email and when I should send a follow up email. Also one of them is a first year analyst at a BB, so should I try to maintain the relationship or look for more senior bankers who will have more time ?

These questions have been answered a million times, use the search function. Generally, you should follow-up when you have something legitimate to say, like asking for advice/upcoming weekend trip and so on. Don't pester people with constant emails. You should obviously maintain the relationship with the analyst, but asking for referrals to more senior people never hurts, as long as you've made a good impression.
Good that you're reaching out, but you should send a thank you email after phone calls. Follow up with coffee chats or questions you may have as you go through the process. You should definitely try to maintain the relationship with the first year analyst as well as look for more senior bankers. Add them on LinkedIn and don't be afraid to reach out to them here and there, just not extremely frequently and always be courteous and respectful.
Follow Up E-mails - What do you say? (Originally Posted: 07/18/2012)
Say a month has passed since you met up with that alum for a chat. You want to make sure he/she doesn't forget your name, so you decide to send a follow-up e-mail. What do you say in those kind of e-mails? I don't want to seem like a pest.
interested as well, bump..

Rule #1: Never ask or hint about a potential job when networking.
You should send an email with a question about a certain topic you think they could answer for you. You've got to have some questions about a certain industry. This achieves your original effort to re-connect with them for another lunch/chat.
Try to phrase it while simultaneously making them believe you view their experience in a high regard without kissing anybody's ass.
ex: "I was wondering about blank and I believe YOUR exp & knowledge with blank could help give me a better grasp of this particular question."
Something like that
But isn't it kinda obvious to them that I'm emailing them just for the sake of e-mailing? They're probably thinking "This kid doesn't really care about the questions. All he wants is to get me to remember him so I can help him down the road."
Yes you're right they could be thinking that. Even if they are, why do you think people can be very open to meeting? What I'm saying is, networking wouldn't be vital like it is if the people with the power to help you weren't willing in the first place.
Follow up emails? (Originally Posted: 11/14/2014)
I got coffee this monday with an analyst at a bank and at the end asked him if he could introduce me to someone else at his group. He said sure and to shoot him an email.
It's been the week and he hasn't responded at all. I'm sure I probably just slipped his mind since he mentioned it's been particularly busy at his office. When should I send a follow up email if I don't get a response? I don't think he's intentionally not answering since the chat went pretty well.
Is there any reason that you think you should not wait another week? For example, are they interviewing within the next month? A gentle reminder in 2-3 weeks would not annoy me.
wait until after the weekend, shoot him a follow up email on like Wednesday and have it be the same email you sent this week, just with an added line like, "I wanted to follow up with my previous email, I know you mentioned you have been busy so I completely understand...." and then segue into your original email.
Follow up to email interview? (Originally Posted: 07/06/2018)
I received a set of basic interview questions via email for an internship. Haven't heard back in a few days and wanted to send a follow up. How should I approach this and convey that I'd really like to intern at the firm?
Hey LifeIsGood7, I swear if I had a silver banana for every lonely thread I posted too I'd be richer than @compbanker ...
If we're lucky, maybe I can guilt some users to help you out: howe817 pwilliams_1 imallcash
Hope that helps.
