Full-time lateral advice

I’m an incoming full time analyst who’s about to start my training in the coming weeks. I’m currently at a MM bank in Chicago (HL, WB, etc.) and would love to get everyone’s input on what I should expect the process to be like if I want to lateral into a BB role in NYC ideally.

I am currently operating under the assumption that networking is my best bet of finding openings in the fields I’m interested in because these cycles move so fast that they don’t have time to post full openings on websites.

Am I operating under the right assumptions? What should my roadmap look like? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!
