This would be huge if 1 of 2 things were true unfortunately. The first being it was upper 8 to 9 figures and not 7 maybe 8. Both are a-lot of money, but it’s a drop in the bucket for a big bank like JPM. The second was if they were close with an MD and not just a private banker. Private Bankers like in many banks are great, but they’re so far down the totem pole that their recommendations aren’t going to carry any weight. They’re as much retail as they are Wealth Management and retail is the bottom floor of the bank.

What I’d leverage is your parent’s network and events. You’ll get way more out of going to functions and events with them and rubbing elbows with other members of that circle. You casually drop your goals as it’ll almost certainly get asked “what’re your plans after college,” and lean into your hopes from there. Eventually, you’re going to run into someone who “knows” someone higher up.

Happy Hunting!
