How much do I network now that I landed a job?

So after months of many calls a week, a lot of interview prep, and a lot of rejections, I got an offer that I am very happy with (group/comp/geography).

I've gotten so used to networking it feels odd no longer needing to cold email dozens of people per week. 

Is it worth it to keep networking in IB? Do I shift to PE/VC contacts for potential future benefit?


Thanks!
