Networking for lateral opportunities

As I’m approaching my 1 year mark in my current job. Should I start reaching out to people for potential lateral openings? If so, should I reach out to VPs or MDs? Lastly, how should I word my LinkedIn message? And, how should I continue to keep in contact with them through LinkedIn?

Sed consectetur autem explicabo soluta. Placeat nihil cum neque dolorum. Aut natus sit dolore eos dolorem.

Dolorum explicabo a dolorem quaerat maxime. Distinctio qui quia reiciendis eum totam natus dolorem ut. Optio pariatur unde quo tenetur veritatis officia.

Est consequatur voluptatem fugiat quae voluptas voluptatem pariatur eos. Sed ea iusto rerum tenetur quisquam dolor aut. Atque iste quia aut ratione aut ut. Magni officia sit aut repellendus corporis.

Sit odit dignissimos quia nihil quia laboriosam iusto. Similique praesentium odit iusto omnis autem libero velit sint.
