How often do you meet with former colleagues to keep connections up? Have been meeting with a friend once every couple months but it does not feel like it is as often as I maybe should. Any recommendations or advice for maintaining a solid network would be greatly appreciated, especially when looking to hop to a new job.

When I was younger it was pretty often, but that’s cause we all ended up going to the same bars and restaurants anyway.

Sadly some are across the country

Once a quarter is sufficient. Twice a year could work. If I haven’t heard from someone in over a year I may or may not go out of my way to help them. It doesn’t have to be in person. A fifteen minute catch up call works. It’s not about having super deep relationships. It’s about being able to leverage peripheral relationships.

I’m a Junior at Colgate University and have been heavily searching for a summer 2022 internship since October of 2021. I have had countless networking calls with various alumni in different professions and have learned plenty of great information, but have not gotten lucky enough to find an internship. I’m beginning to worry that opportunities are going to become hard to come by for summer of 2022. Any advice?

Need advice! I accepted an offer mid Oct and just found out my new company opened a new role above me at the title I was asking for originally but was told I would move up when they were ready to build out the team. I am over qualified for my role now and already meet the exp of the new role above me. Very salty and feel like they are setting me up to feel stuck before I even start. What do I did?

I feel like I’ve lost myself since joining McK. My whole world has become about work. I love my job but I’m not the same person I started and I feel I don’t connect with my friends and family the way I use to. I’m not sure if I’ve grown, or lost a part of myself. Is this growing up or do I need to make a career change?

Any good recommended books on how to build a scalable product and team? I'm looking for recommendations for two areas: 1) in general laying the groundwork in a startup to have the tools and especially processes in place to scale, and 2) tactical focus on building a SaaS project. I've been promoted into a management role from Dev roots, so need to learn more PM processes to be an effective manager in day job, plus would like to start building my own SaaS solution.
