Kind of a note on networking but it feels applicable: a high-up MD told me a while ago that you should think of yourself as a corporation, and within your network should be a board of directors. The parallels are everywhere: These are the people you trust with information on your salary, long-term goals, growth/exit opps, and interviews/offers. Like a good BoD, both sides have to want to be there, don’t just spill this stuff to a random alumni from your school. It also actually does help to have a diverse board, not just people from 1 industry/career path.

TLDR: Absolutely, but make sure it’s a close connection. I was in a situation where I had very different 3 offers and the conversations I had with 2 people made a huge difference in what I chose
