Is networking on WSO a thing?

Heya,

European monkey here. Writing my first post although I have been on the forum for a while.

Wanted to ask, do people actually expand their network here on WSO and eventually land jobs? I am currently working at a Big four deal advisory in continental Europe, also planning for a lateral to MM banks in London within a year. Yes, an uphill battle which requires tons of networking and preparation. WSO, a great financial industry forum as it is, I wonder whether it is worth to spend time and utilise WSO for networking purposes?

Please leave a comment and share your story. I am really curious to find out how you guys made it.

Cheers,
