Whether you are looking to break into your first job, trying to move up through the ranks or pivot within your current firm, or you are looking to transition from one career to a completely new field, NETWORKING is the most important skill you need.  In fact, "networking" is the answer to so many questions we get asked, ranging from "how do I break into finance from a non-target school" to "how do I switch from consulting to investment banking without an MBA?"  Most importantly, this episode applies to you whether you are interested in the world of finance or not!  We lay out the networking playbook and discuss some critical do's and don'ts that will help you network in a way that feels authentic to you.  We also touch on LinkedIn etiquette, explain its role, and provide guidelines for maximizing your impact if you use it as a tool.
