Lateral Networking Help

Feeling kind of down. At a BB in a top group (think BAML Levfin, Citi M&A, Barclays P&U, CS sponsors) and am interested in lateraling to a different bank due to personal reasons unrelated to my group. I've spent months reaching out to specific groups at different banks and have had 0 response. As a college student I have more responses and now my response rate is 0 over the course of 4 months. Not sure what to do at this point and feeling dejected. I've been through this process before so I know i'm not wording emails wrong or anything. Any advice one can offer?
