The Dichotomy of Networking

So on one hand... it seems like networking is only important to get your foot in the door. On the other hand, if you don't network but still get your foot in the door, then will you ever convert an offer if you haven't talked to a single person aside from interviews?

Intern in IB, you didn’t say anything wrong here, I agree with you. It’s just that, now that I am in the industry full time, it’s so cringe to see undergrads commenting and providing advice as if they know it all and are so mature. Alas, I used to do the same as well so can’t blame ya.
