Anyone else feel like “networking” is just code for “get used to being fake friends with people you low-key despise”? 😬 I’ve been in the industry for a few years now, and it feels like every happy hour or mixer is just people pretending to care so they can angle for jobs. I want to build real relationships, but everything feels transactional, like if I’m not useful to someone right now, I don’t exist. How do you stay genuine in an industry that rewards charm over substance?

I'm not in sales per se but I manage my company's largest wholesale account ($150 million per/yr account). It's a great company, awesome culture, good benefits, flexibility, but the pay is not great ($60K/yr).

Its a VC funded startup & aggressively growing. I’ve never worked for a start up, so curious what everyone’s experiences are and any feedback would be super appreciated thank you!!

Let’s talk speed reading. I’m a slow reader and listened to a podcast recently on speed reading. I’m intrigued. Who here speed reads? How did you learn those skills, and what types of documents do you speed read in practice? I do mostly litigation and am thinking that speed reading would help with research but maybe not things like doc review where you need to review for both responsiveness and privilege.
