UK IB Spring Referral Question

As a UK IB Spring Referral, is it worthwhile to network with analysts/associates to hopefully land referrals? If so, how feasible and powerful are these referrals? Can analysts often give associates or is that just constricted to associates mainly? 

Given my situation, is it smart to try and land referrals?

Yes (with both analysts and associates)
