Land a Goldman or Morgan Stanley IB Warm Intro
Banking resume portals bury you with thousands of applicants and no human ever reads most of them. The honest fix: reach one analyst or associate who shares your school and let them walk your resume to the desk.

A plain LinkedIn search buries the people who would actually help you.
It ranks by prominence, so the most-followed, most-messaged names sit on top. FindWarmIntros surfaces the coworkers who share your school or a past employer - the people most likely to reply - and hands you a ready-to-send intro.
✍️ Ready-to-send intro“Hi - we both studied at [your school]. I’d love to hear about your path to a company you are targeting before I apply…”

Why the resume drop fails in banking
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley get tens of thousands of applications per class. Recruiting is driven by internal referrals and networking calls, so an unreferred online submission often never reaches a human on the deal team.
A single analyst who knows you can hand your resume to their staffing lead or recruiter with a note. That one forward carries more weight than any cover letter, because it comes from someone the team already trusts to protect their own reputation.
Find the right shared-school banker
Do not aim at the Managing Director first. The people who actually answer, and who have current credibility with recruiting, are junior.
- Same school, one to three years senior. Analysts and associates remember being where you are and their referral still counts toward their recruiting quota.
- Right group, not just right bank. An M&A analyst helps more with an M&A seat than a wealth-management alum does; match the coverage or product group you want.
- Recent grads of your exact program. Someone from your college, your club, or your prior firm gives you a concrete shared thing to open with instead of a cold hello.
How FindWarmIntros shortens the search
The slow part is finding who at Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley actually shares your school or a past employer, then guessing who is worth messaging. FindWarmIntros does that finding-and-ranking part for you: enter the bank and your background, and it surfaces the real people you overlap with and drafts a warm intro that leads with the shared tie. You still send it and build the relationship, but you skip the hours of LinkedIn digging.
Send the ask that gets a yes
Make helping you cost about 30 seconds. Open with the school connection, not the request. Ask for a short call about their group first, and save the resume-forward ask for after they have said yes to talking.
When you do ask, hand them everything ready to paste: a two-line summary of your fit and your resume attached, so all they do is forward it. The easier you make the forward, the more likely it happens.
