When you're applying for jobs while working, how do you choose which companies to network with, and when do you think is enough networking?

Wondering how you all don't lose your minds during the hustle haha.

I'm in a consulting internship now, and adding on additional networking outside of my firm seems stressful.

I suggest you enjoy and focus on the internship. If there is a particular must see event, or you have a chance to mingle with your dream company, then by all means go.

If by “networking” you mean reaching out to people online, don’t spam a bunch of people or companies. Reach out with a targeted offer of your services.

Honestly networking comes fairly easily once you do it enough. I never really look at as networking but rather getting to know other like minded individuals. If you focus on "networking" too much it starts to feel like a chore and networking can actually be very fun. Its really all about the mindset you have while doing it.

Had my 1:1 with my People Lead yesterday to prepare for talent discussions. Said I had a great year - but need to work on being consistent. She said when I’m engaged it’s great but need to keep it going. I’ve mentioned my ADHD previously but I’m sure she doesn’t know all the components of what that means. We’ve had org issues - no clear role descriptions or expectations. Yes I do have a hard time staying engaged (and I’m medicated - Vyvance in the am, dextroamphetamine at noon). Thoughts?
