I got poached earlier this year by a competitor and decided it was a good opportunity. I was just approached again by another company offering an even better spot. Now , I’m not sure if I’ll proceed but both opportunities came exclusively from networking. You can never do too much networking!

My past 3 jobs I have had were a result not of formal application and interviews, but because someone in the company knew me, reached out, and said "we want you here"
I still had a couple interviews, but there were more along the lines of "is this a fit for both of us" as opposed to "who are you"
100% network as much as you can - I don't think people understand how many jobs get filled while never being publicly posted because of networking.
