What are people’s thoughts on cold emailing MDs or Group Heads of a group that is hiring/that you are really qualified for? I don’t know anyone at a few firms where I think I would be a really good fit that are hiring, is it worth a shot?

Why not? Nothing to lose by doing so, worst that can happen is they don’t respond.

How would you know you are a good fit if you know no one...?

Do you have any connection to them (ie alum?)

By really qualified do you mean you have IB experience in the coverage or product group youre looking to join?

I’d honestly start hitting up an analyst or associate that you have something in common with. Much more helpful if it’s an alum or if you have a friend in common and your friend can reach out on your behalf.

Literally nothing to lose by reaching out. The worst thing that could happen is they don’t respond or say no. Your chances are obviously greater by making the effort to reach out versus doing nothing at all. An analyst at my firm somehow pulled a rabbit out of a hat landing himself a job that way. You never know...

Probably better to use someone junior to get to better know the firm and then try to connect with someone more senior

you can reach out to the group head and a junior person you might have a connection with. like others mentioned, it’s can’t hurt unless you write something dumb or make a typo.

OMG! Why do recruiters go dark on you!?

The conversation with the girl on the team went well and told me how excited the hiring manager is and called her right away…. I email the recruiter to ask about next steps and nothing……
