Are these people who work in roles that you want to pivot to at other firms? If they work for the same firm as you do, I think you're fine to network whenever, but if all you are doing is trying to introduce yourself to hopefully get a foot in the door at another firm, unless you keep the relationship going, you are not going to gain any advantage by starting nine months out. I'm about eight years into my career, and I have found that applying to a role online and then sending a cold email to the hiring manager or someone in the group works wonders to getting them on the phone, especially if the person is a former banker and is used to this.
Primarily the same firm I'm with. Both new, and former analysts with the firm who have since "graduated" to better positions but with other firms.
As someone with 15yrs in the industry what do you think would be interesting topics to ask about that might provide someone like myself more insights about the team, the people, and what the projects/work was like?
On the other end what do think would be some topics that would be inappropriate or turn offs for you? Comp, Google-able questions, etc.
I would do some homework on the firm and what they do so that you have something to talk about. Ask them about recent work, their opinion on what you've read about recent industry changes, etc.
