SA looking to network with other groups

Hello all, I am currently working as a SA at a BB in corporate finance. I am trying to work my way into a FT IB role and am wondering what my odds of doing this are. I have a pretty impressive resume (worked all school year at a small PE shop, worked last summer on the debt desk at a small merchant bank) and am wondering what the best way to network with the IB group this summer is. Would it be disrespectful towards my CF team if they constantly saw me getting coffee with those in IB? How do I go about mentioning to someone in IB that i want to join their team? Obviously my number one priority is securing a full-time role with the CF team, but I am wondering the best practice for working towards an IB FT job. I am confident if I am able to just get an interview with an IB group I will be able to secure an offer if there is a spot available.
