Networking for a specific group

Hello Everyone,

I'm interning in a product group right now, but I would like to move to a different group at the end of my internship. The bank I currently work at doesn't have this particular group so I've started the networking process by talking to analysts at a couple different banks in the group I'm targeting. I was about to reach out to some people at the associate/VP level, but I read that you shouldn't contact multiple people within the same group. Is this true? If so, should I just reach out directly to the VPs and skip the analysts going forward?
