- expect the job search to feel slow until networking kicks in, even after hundreds of applications
- talk to people for a couple minutes, not thirty, networking is just a short genuine conversation

- seniors should be adaptable across frameworks and able to find solutions anywhere, not tied to one stack
- build networking as a skill by practicing in low stakes settings like coffee shops before conferences
