Am I the only one who used to say no to networking events until I heard a guy in Portland talk about a $4,000 raise from one lunch?
I used to skip every mixer and conference in my field because I thought they were a waste of a Tuesday night. Then at a Portland meetup, this guy told me he got a $4,000 raise just from chatting with a manager at a lunch table, and it made me rethink how I treat those rooms. What is the smallest thing you ever did that led to a real work change?

One lunch story from one guy doesn't mean networking events pay off for everyone. Most of those rooms are just people trading business cards and small talk that goes nowhere. You probably saved yourself a bunch of boring Tuesday nights.
