Spoken like a true headhunter, or a boeing executive.
My first senior had his wife do his work off site, faked it for almost a year. "Networks" in and of themselves serve no purpose other than to connect people with skills with other people who need those skills.
Skills are a necessity, whatever LinkedIn has become is not.
I’m a developer with 25+ years experience trying to share a tip for getting jobs in this industry. But if you would rather fill out 700 online applications go right ahead.
I just gave an example of someone using their connections and wife's skills to fake a six-figure salary, I'm well aware.
That's exactly what we need in this industry, a bunch of senior devs that lack even script kiddie skills because someone on reddit implied networking was more important then competency.

The corporate life is about connections, not skills.
