I keep wondering the same thing. Don't think it's high value given you're only visible to a very small few during this time. Not to say you can't make up for it through a tonne of BD related activities

High. You learn more and develop faster on high intensity projects. You get exposure to more people, faster (vs fewer people for longer) but still have the opportunity to make a good impression on them.
