- start small and let it grow, one networking newsletter for 10 people can turn into something much bigger
- when going to events it is fine to just listen and take notes instead of forcing an elevator pitch
- connect with people on linkedin right after meeting them so your activity keeps showing up in their feed without extra follow up messages
- narrow down what direction you want in tech early so networking conversations are more focused and useful
- look for ways to attend expensive conferences for free by volunteering or working the event instead of skipping it
