Networking w/ other companies while already being an analyst - how?

Throughout the recruiting process, it has been easy to reach out to alumni and say that I'm a student wanting to hear about their experiences and people have been willing to talk.

But how does networking work once you start as an analyst? Because isn't the working world small so if you're reaching out to an MD, people have the potential to share the news back to your MD that you're probably looking to jump ship soon?
