This is kind of the most useful part of secondary education too. I’m very introverted but by chance I ended hanging out with a group of very extroverted talented guys who got me in at 3/4 of the companies I’ve worked for in my professional career

My experience is very late 2010s and early pandemic era tech industry focused though. I’m unemployed right now but not even my connections are able to get me on anywhere since nobody’s hiring it seems :(
