Hot take: I was sure networking events were useless until a guy in Austin got me a $12k raise
I used to skip every mixer and happy hour because I figured handing out cards was a waste of a Tuesday night. Then a recruiter I met at a small meetup in Austin in March texted me about a role that paid $12k more, and I got it after one coffee. Has anyone else had a random chat turn into real money, or am I just lucky?

So a Tuesday night of small talk in Austin turned into 12 grand? Meanwhile I've been collecting free pens and lukewarm beer at mixers for years with nothing to show for it. Guess I've been networking at the wrong happy hours, or maybe I just need to move to Texas.
