Networking in IB

I keep reading that networking is really important to get an offer or even be considered for a role in IB (especially for people like me that do not come from a target school). However, I imagine that investment bankers are quite busy, so would they really answer my LinkedIn request? What's their benefit of it and are there any other/better ways to make connections of value?

Surprisingly, lots of analysts and associates on LinkedIn will respond if you keep it short and simple. They’re often happy to help because they’ve also started somewhere sometime. Also, try alumni events or cold emails. Those worked for me too.
