Networking is not the only way to land your next 200k+ job

In fact, every single time I see a career coach advising you to ditch all job search efforts to focus solely on cold networking, it makes me cringe.

Why?

Because as someone who was busy working her tails off to convert an internal promotion, going to MBA classes on the weekend, writing her greencard application at night, while raising a young kid at home, I did not have time to “network”.

Neither did I believe that sending out 100s of cold networking messages in hopes of landing “the one” referral was worth my time.

As I made my career transition from Energy to Tech, all my interviews… at Google, Meta, Stripe, Doordash, McKinsey… and finally at Amazon, came without cold networking (or referrals).

And that’s exactly what I teach my clients.

Dozens of my clients who landed $200k+ offers in the last 1.5 years have done it without sending a single cold networking message on LinkedIn.

- From the US to India.
