Should I be actively networking with people at my firm during my SA stint?

Title. Currently a summer analyst at an EB with a generalist model so don't know how many people to really reach out to, given there are 50+ analysts. Second day on the desk so still getting into the swing of things, but have mostly been contacting just members of the deal team. 

Should I reach out to other analysts to network? At a BB it would make sense to network with everyone in your industry/product group, but not entirely sure how to go about it with a generalist model
