I'm an introvert by nature, and the thought of "networking" makes me break out in a cold sweat. But after 7 years in public accounting, I'm ready for a change, and I know networking is key.

The problem is, my professional circle is basically all accountants. How do I break out of the accounting bubble and connect with people in other fields?

Any tips for someone who's not a natural schmoozer? Should I be cold-emailing people on LinkedIn? I'm open to any and all advice!

Would you take a freelance gig that would be a promotion (with potential to join full time) with a smaller company whose values you really agree with, OR a full-time offer for a lateral move with a larger company with teammates you know and trust?

Has anyone thought of doing of a masters in CS instead of a MBA to break into product management?

I'm two years into this job where I lateraled, and I need at least one partner to "sponsor" me to have a future with the firm. Some have mentored me here and there, but they seem uninterested in really discussing my prospects for moving up /growing. I don't know if they just lack power in firm management, or if they lack enthusiasm about me. Should I ask my top pick if he will look out for me? If I feel like I have to ask, it's a no, right?

Those of you who have left consulting for Program/Project Management at tech companies (not Product), what do you think of the switch?
