Millions of engineers go through this every year, and this is how they learn the hard way that *they didn't invest nearly enough time building up their network*. This course is here to make sure that these negative situations never happen to you ever again. After taking it, you will: - 🌟 Understand the **\#1 rule** of networking - 2️⃣ Set up a basic **2-step process** for networking - 🤝 Know how to find the **best people** for your network - 🏃 Develop tools to **build relationships fast** - 🛑 Save time by **avoiding common mistakes** When it comes to an industry as hyper-competitive and complicated as tech, the reality is harsh but straightforward - If you don't have a massive squad of people behind you who truly have your back and are happy to fight for your success, you are not going to make it as an engineer.
