Is my network from last year useless?

I recruited for a small IB boutique shop last year, I want to get into ER to go into an HF long term.  Would all the networking with other bankers be useless to reach back out to.  I want to re-recruit up to either a larger IB shop or ER, but ER sounds more valuable/enjoyable to me long term if the HF didn't work out.  Any thoughts on networking for those full time ER roles without burning too many bridges?
