Your college alumni database should usually be your first stop. The shared school connection gives bankers a clear reason to respond. Depending on your school, the directory may include job titles, employers, graduation years, locations, industries, and contact information.
Search using both school and employer criteria. Start with broad employer names such as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Evercore, or Houlihan Lokey. Then try business-unit and job-title terms such as investment banking, analyst, associate, mergers and acquisitions, or capital markets. Bank names and titles are not always entered consistently, so test several variations.
