Thanks Matt. I'm actually doing a bit of networking, hoping to get into consulting next year. It would be helpful if you could talk about your real-life experience networking into banking or consulting back then. Like you said, where I tend to have the most trouble is the "maintain the relationship" phase. I understand one way to do it is to send follow-up emails after a few months (to update them about me or just simply send them some articles), but my questions are: (1) why would they care? and (2) what's next after I send that email? Thanks a lot!!

[@matthuang21]

Hi Quan, great question! I think it's unlikely you'll stay in touch with every single person you have an initial chat with, but when you do have a good call and really click with someone, that is where it makes sense to maintain the relationship. It's a numbers game, and from my experience people will become more personally invested in your development the longer you maintain the relationship. Not everyone will care, but the ones who do will stay in touch with you and have a genuine interest in your development (plus it's self-gratifying when they hear that you landed an internship/job thanks to their advice). If you happen to be in the area, make an attempt to meet up for coffee in person. You don't have to update them super frequently if there's nothing new going on - the goal is just to have a network of people who you can reach out to for advice and potentially a job referral when the time comes to apply. Think of each person you network with as someone who increases your "luck surface area", and as you meet new people, you open up more possibilities and learnings that wouldn't have been available to you otherwise. Hope this helps!

Can you make a video for highschool students that are interested in majoring in finance? What can we put on our college applications to stand out? Particularly T20. Thankyou!

[@matthuang21]

Will keep this idea in mind for the future!
