Network Like Your Life Depends On It
Most people find networking to be an odd concept, but when you think about it, we all network on a daily basis: We meet new people, become acquainted, and make connections with other people through these acquaintances. However, when we get told at university that "networking" is crucial, it is often looked at as something made solely for the purpose of reaching career ambitions. Networking doesn't need to be about a career; wanting to have a trial at Manchester United requires connections too. It's just socializing with a goal in mind.
But in the case of you and I - It's completely up to us to design a network that will allow us to create a name for ourselves.
There's a concept known as the Six Degrees of Separation, which states that on average, we are all "six degrees" away from anybody in this world. And this proves the power of networking: You know somebody, that knows somebody, who knows someone that likes cars, who knows a car collector, who could connect you to the CEO of Lamborghini.
So get out there. Find your passion and meet others who are like-minded, or are already in the shoes you wish to be in one day.
Cheers,
I disagree that networking is more important than degree and actual skill sets. Also, I see a big difference between being social and meeting people and going to specific networking events where people's sole goal is to find someone who can help them out in their career. I find the latter totally obnoxious.
I'd argue that the degree, in the sense what school bestowed it, is more important. In effect it is networking. Let's not pretend for a second an average student at HYPSW will have mangitudes easier time obtaining an interview/job than a good/great student at most non-targets.
Skill sets matter for the buyside.
