Simple networking question I couldn't find the answer for

When networking (as a non-target, specifically) should you be reaching out to analysts, associates, or higher up? Does it matter? Can an analyst get you an interview?

Thanks, and sorry if this is simple, I've been searching around for the answer and I just couldn't find one.

Do they carry much weight with regards to getting an interview?

If so, I have a few friends who are analysts... could that secure me a couple interviews?

 

Huh, I didn't know that. Guess I didn't put 2-2 together. Sounds like networking at a few banks will be much easier than others!
