Are you guys still networking

Hey all,

Im a first year analyst at a small boutique and before the whole COVID-caused downturn recently was networking hard trying hard to make a lateral move to a larger bank this summer. Since the economic downturn I've stopped cold emailing people, but now I am wondering if I should start again? What are you all doing? Do you expect the job market to pick up this summer?
