How many bankers should I be networking with?

I'm planning to network consistently with 124 bankers (but reaching out to many more, this is assuming 124 is the number of responses/follow throughs), with the rationale being 4-6 (preferably in different groups) at each of the 28 banks/boutiques (IB) that I'm targeting for Summer 2024. 

Am I overdoing it and potentially shooting myself in the foot, or is this fine?
