Is networking all online now? How many people here actually make an effort to do some sort of more “formal” networking event? What’s your preferred networking method? I know I need to get out there more, but I am so unmotivated to get started. Please share any advice!

No really, if I want to work at truist but know no on at truist, how do I meet someone at truist other than asking someone who is a second connection on LinkedIn to coffee chat? Or asking someone who does know someone at truist to connect.. via LinkedIn

Absolutely not, it's 50/50. Don't just spend time online.

In person networking events really seem to be way more effective. I make so many more meaningful connections.

That makes sense. How do you curate your target list of networking events or conferences? I’ve sat down to do so and it feels like I come up with a long list and some will have varying levels of success / value

Honestly, I get more value from building genuine one-on-one relationships than from formal networking events. A quick coffee chat with someone whose work I admire has led to far more meaningful connections than most networking mixers I've attended.

Hi Everyone. I completed my 1 year in EY in October 2022. And in my profile, they have updated it to Senior Analyst now. But that was a progression that happens every year and I have not received the incremented salary.

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.
