Importance of Networking

It's almost time for the interns to start. Hopefully my team will get an intern but probably not since my teams are so small. Generally the big teams fight each other over the best interns. So if you didn't  network when you went through recruiting, then you have no shot at being on the top clients at your firm.They look for someone who is hard working and is proactive. So if you display those traits during the recruiting process, then you will have teams fighting over you. But the downside on being on a big client is that you will be pigeon-holed. Most big clients have multiple teams that specializes in certain areas. So if you are looking to leave after a couple of years, it might be in your best interest to be on a big client for a little bit just to see what it's like. But eventually, having a diverse experience will be help your career the most.
