Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
I pay $90,000 to go to the number one business school in the world and all they teach you about networking is big tip I have to the concept of luck surface area. This is defined as the amount you do multiplied by the amount you tell. So the amount you do in this case is the amount of work you do related to your field and the amount you tell is the amount of people that see the work that you're doing in my experience, I've seen that the higher the luck surface area, the higher the probability that opportunities find you as opposed to you finding the opportunities. So what does this mean? You need to put yourself out there. Do case comps, do hackathons, do pitch comps, do public speaking, literally whatever you have to do as opposed to just sitting in your room working in silence. Number two is that the best networkers aren't actually networkers. This means above all else, come across as a likable human first. You have to keep it personal and light on the person before every meeting and at the start of the call, be sure to establish a firm human connection. The end of the call, you cannot ask these bot ass questions like what's the culture like or do you enjoy your job, anything like those lines. Instead, you're gonna do these two things. You're gonna ask meaningful questions that get the person you're talking to talk about themselves. This is just basic psychology. People love talking about themselves over anything else. Two is if there are any other people within the firm that you should talk to. This compounds your network within the company that you're trying to break into. Drop a follow for part two about cold emailing tomorrow.
