Very relatable to the concept of networking in engineering. I used to struggle a lot to network with people in the start of my career, and didn't see the point of it.

But, then as you make more effort to connect with people, you find more opportunities opening up for you.

Also, the human experience is great. Because you experience support and even find friendships sometimes.

Thank you for writing this, Irina!

Thanks Basma, I'm glad you enjoyed this article!

And same, even for me all these realizations came after many years of working in the industry and connecting with a variety of people. I don't consider myself a particularly innate "networker", but I do care about people so shifting my perspective towards building human connections helped.
