Interesting read. Thanks.

The avoidance of traveling in packs suggestion is a great point. You definitely want to stand out and be remember and that's pretty hard to do when you're surrounded by a group of your peers. This may even bring about some cattiness and unfriendly competition depending on your group members.

This is super helpful. Please keep the information coming. I am really excited, but anxious to start in the fall!

I agree that sending someone an email weekly is too much. I'm less concerned with coming off stalkerish, and more concerned that the person will just think I have no idea how "networking" works. Fine to email them when you have a reason to, whether it is an update, to ask for something or to share something of value with them. Remember, less is more.

GREAT content. Very informative!

Great post!

I still consider the best practice to stay in the company where you underwent an internship

Great guide! Thanks

The following advice generally applies to firms that have a regular recruiting process on your campus, and are based on experiences with IB firms. These firms generally come for an initial presentation, followed by some type of open invite event (cocktails or something) and then 1-3 invite only events. For Darden this usually culminates with our Week on Wall Street where 20-25 firms host us in their offices in NY; finally there are two rounds of interviews, generally on campus. I must stress that if a firm does not recruit on campus, or if they only visit for a general presentation and do not have follow-up events that you must use different strategies.

I think studying business and management worth it only for those who have a family business and want to develop it

Great Forum!! Thanks
