Too early to network to lateral? Incoming 2026 SA

Will be joining a well known EB for summer 2026 in NYC. Go to a well known semi target and know I want to pursue a LT career at a HF. Current firm doesn’t have exit opps that align with my long term goals. As title suggests would love feedback. Thanks everyone.
