How to network for a career switch with a job?

How to network when you already have a job and looking to switch careers?

Hi everyone, I am considering a career switch and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to network with people in different industries/ jobs. I realize it’s a bit different than how students do asking about how they broke in / career path since I already have a job, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

For context I’m in IB but looking to switch into CB or FP&A.
