Lateral Networking Requests During COVID-19

Hi everyone - currently an analyst at a no-name boutique looking to lateral to a bigger MM firm. Current analysts/associates, how is it generally perceived given current circumstances when you guys receive inbound lateral networking emails? I am currently WFH and definitely have some more time and flexibility to reach out as opposed to when I was working in the office. Do you guys treat lateral networking requests differently from student requests during this time?
