So I recently applied for a lateral investment banking analyst position at a big bulge bracket bank and had sent out some networking emails to the team. I was able to connect with an Investment Banking associate at the Bank but in a different team. Shortly after that conversation, the Managing director of the team that I applied for (also the hiring manager for the position) reached out to me mentioning that my resume had been forwarded to him and asked if I had some time to connect with him. From my understanding, this isn’t technically an official interview yet. Is that a good sign that the managing director / hiring manager is interested in my candidacy? Does this mean anything? I’m not sure how competitive my profile given how competitive investment banking recruiting is but I do have somewhat relevant experience. Thoughts on this?
