Should you network around your desk / greater organization before starting as an SA? I feel like networking on your desk before starting might be awkward, but that could just be me.

I set up zooms/phone calls with most of the people on my desk, even if I didn’t interact with them on a day to day basis. Most happened before I hit the desk but during training. (Analysts, vps, group head before I hit the desk, everyone else after) The phone calls/zooms were with analysts, associates, vps, the group head, directors, mds and the head of all the product groups. Some they set up and others I reached out. Everyone was super happy to talk with me. Hardly ever talked about the group, mainly just talked about life.
so mainly during the week of training?
ya, was this during the week of training? or before joining so in spring etc? Thank you!
