Networking For Lateral?

Is it wrong to network rn with some firms laying off or in preparation too? I'm a recent grad, with an offer at a sizeable MM boutique. I liked the team and the people, but I want to work at a larger firm for my career. 

I've noticed I'm getting a lot fewer hits on my emails than before. I can't tell if it's because people would rather talk to people in college or if it's people feeling heat rn.
