True but over emphasized. I switched big 4 at director level, knew 1 partner going in, asked for the names of other 5 partners to proactively network with.

Within a year and aggressively networking with leaders in person, and those involved in all of the project teams. I was just as well connected and many of my peers.

Create a list of leaders that you want to get close to. Research them - professional, personal, find out everything you can about them. Reach out and set up intro calls with them, ask if ok to schedule regular touch points. Find a way to meet them in person. Offer to help them on anything that they are working on.

The regular stuff. Just be aggressive about it

True, but possible with work

True, generally. You can make it work but it is damn hard and you have to be very good

I moved from KPMG to accenture (same level) and then again to another consulting firm (promotion)
It is hard.. it takes a few months to a year to build your network.. but not impossible

Depends how shitty your current shop is.

True.
The only reason to jump at that level is if you don’t think you have a good shot at PPMD type role where you are.
