How to Network for Group Placement?

Incoming FT analyst at a MM bank I did not previously intern at. We were just sent surveys to rank the groups we were interested in.


In terms of networking with the groups that I am interested in, what questions should be asked to get an understanding and build a foundation to be chosen for my desired group?

My training starts in just a few weeks; should I begin networking now?
