Pre-SA internal networking advice

Hi all, incoming SA in a structured finance group for 2026. Networked aggressively to land the offer and would like to keep meeting more people. In your opinion, would more networking with people in the group and in adjacent groups almost a year out be too much/come off as annoying?
