What to do when contacts won’t respond?
I’ve had some decent conversations with people since November, and I started to follow up with some since May. However, most of them don’t respond, even with people who I really vibed with. I know they’re really busy, but a good amount of them don’t respond after 3 weeks of following up. I’ve seen advice from people saying just to call them, but that just feels kinda creepy to me. Should I keep trying to follow up?
Follow up 1 time after a week of not hearing back. If they dont come back spend your efforts elsewhere
Agree with the above - if they aren’t responding to you after multiple followups they are probably not going to respond at all. Best to focus efforts on other people. Maybe follow back up in a month, but don’t bank on them coming through for you.
The perils of networking too early. For the rising sophomores in the thread, this is your only warning
This is cap. November is a great time to start as a sophomore.
I don't know whether you're a Sophomore or a Junior but I'll say this time of year is not the best to be doing networking. It's summer, interns are about to arrive, 2nd years are leaving - I love talking to prospects and helping people out but doing so is at the very bottom of my priority list right now.
I know, I just figured I would be able to catch up with them again before I submitted my app. Is this too late of a follow up period?
What bank?
For next summer? I didn't know BBs were still interviewing for 2022 so I'm out of the loop I guess - my office has been done since April. But like I said, interns are coming, turnover is happening, and everyone is slammed, so I wouldn't take it personally.
Mostly BBs and Jefferies
Lmao nobody from jefferies ever responds to me. Must be getting slaved away
