How far does networking actually get you?
Just had a superday at a BB - I have a connection at the firm, how far does that connection get you. Has anyone like not gotten an offer but then had the decision changed?

Career Resources
Depends how strong the network/connect is. Typically, networking can get you an interview, but not the outright job.
Put yourself in the other person's shoes. If you worked at a BB, who/how far would you stick your neck for someone? Your kid? Your nephew/niece? Your kids friend?
The saying, it's not about what you know but who you know, can get you pretty far. At the same time, a corporation can't go around just hiring everyone who has a connection. A BB would catch a lot of heat if they solely practiced nepotism.
