How important is networking in the UK (London)?
I’ve read a lot in the forum about networking - in fact there’s even a networking guide I can buy. However, WSO is quite a US-focused website so I assume networking is a big deal for New York IB’s. I’m a student at a target uni (think UCL, Warwick, Imperial, LSE) for BB investment banks in...
My older brother is now a CEO of a commercial bank. What should I do?
This is a throwaway account. I work in a small PE shop after relationship manager at commercial bank (1.5 yrs) and actuary (1.5 yrs) in a frontier country. A year ago my brother, 4 years older than me, became a CEO of a mid tier commercial bank. Not to be an opportunist but we are very close, how he...

Networking Question about Cold Email
I'm a sophomore and I cold emailed a MD at a lower middle market IB and included my phone number in the email. He called me on tuesday (3/14) at a time I wasn't able to pick up, and he left a message saying call him back. I called him back as soon as possible about an hour later and he didn't pick...
Private Equity Introductory Meeting
I have an introductory meeting with an Associate at a Private Equity firm coming up next week. I have no experience or exposure to PE and go to a non-target. Just wanted to know if any of you had any resources that would be valuable to me and/or other chimps trying to gain some exposure to PE ....
Networking Question - Timing
If I'm a sophomore this year, when should i start emailing/networking with boutiques for this upcoming summer? I have an Asset Management internship in NYC over my winter break (I know not directly related to IB) and I would like to have that on my resume/under my belt before starting to look around...
Phone Informational Interview
I'm having a phone informational interview with alumni who are an associate at a large PE firm and a Director at an elite boutique IB this week. What do you think is a good way to approach these calls? What are some good questions? To give some perspective, I'm an upcoming sophomore. What I want is...
NON-TARGET RECRUITING PROCESS
I am a currently a junior at a complete non-target in NY with literally 0 alumni working in Investment Banking. I have done a few boutique IB internships and about to start a PE internship in the spring. I have used the search function a million times to find quality information about non-target...
Summer 2016 Internship Networking
I'm an incoming sophomore from a non target and I'm aiming to get an internship at a local regional Ib this coming summer. I'm planning to cold email/call my way in, but am not sure of when to start; I already aggregated a list of alumni that I'm planning to contact. When do you think I should...
Networking: when to contact back
Hi guys, I need some tips from networking pros. I had an HR interview before August (I was told that they were not contacting me back until september due to vacation) I was called to this interview due to a referal from a Senior Manager I cold-mailed through Linkedin. The question is, should I...
Best Consulting Firms in NYC?
Hi Everyone! I'm organizing a trip to NYC for students at my school (non-target) to network with consultants and their firms in the hopes of eventually getting interviews for internships and full time positions (yes, the relationship comes first, I know!). Think of the trip as an hour to two hour...
Networking Topics? What do you talk about?
I realized that in my informational interviews, I've been sometimes stumped because: 1) I don't know enough about investment banking or related terminologies to carry a full conversation with a few year analyst or associate 2) Can't seem to detect their interests that I can spark up and small talk...

Ok to reach out to person who posted job in advance of applying with questions etc?
I recently saw a posting on my school's job board for an IB analyst position with an elite boutique. The job was posted by an analyst. Last week I had a solid networking call with another analyst at the bank who I happen to know is good friends with the guy who posted the job. Should I reach out to...
"Networking-proof" banks?
This may be a bit of small-sample-size, ignorant-college-student overgeneralization, but in my experience reaching out to alums (top target) at various banks, I've come across a wide array of approaches that banks take toward tracking and/or being proactive about networking with regards to...
How can I make the best of this?
I understand recruiting season is upon us and I know I should be networking ASAP. But my concern is that I may be biting off more than I can chew if I ask to speak with firms and they realize I am completely novice when it comes to financial modeling and excel. I know the most basic components but...
How do I approach a great opportunity I'm scared of messing up?
Hey! I've got a small dilemma, and hopefully someone can help. Context: I'm in my final year of university (non-target) in London, studying Banking & Finance undergrad. I get along really well with a faculty member at my university, so she decided to put me in touch with her uncle who's an Executive...
Meet everyone in group?
Would it be advisable to try to meet as many people in a banking (Elite Boutique and MM Banks) group as possible? Whenever I have an informational interview with someone in a group I just end up seeing if they could introduce me to someone else in their group. I've done this a couple times with one...
What is the most efficient way to network if I'm an Ivy Leaguer trying to get into IB in Los Angeles?
I grew up in LA and am interning in Century City right now. I've sent the analysts in the region emails asking if we can just chat over the phone or grab coffee whenever they're free. By this fall, I'll only have one small boutique experience on my resume, so I know that I need to take this...
