        Often networking and hustle are in opposition to each other. A father calling in a favor to his old golf buddy to get his son an internship is networking, but there wasn't much hustle involved on the son's part. And that's how a lot of connected people get jobs.

        Are they in opposition (antagonistic) or different (complementary)?

        Can be both, but I was speaking to the antagonistic nature of networking and hustle. I do think people undervalue building networks and utilizing them, but networking unduly advantages the elite.

        Having a network is a shortcut that makes it so you don't have to hustle

        That son won't last without hustle. Prince got a job as a janitor at a studio to get free recording time. But he still had to become Prince.

        Naive nonsense. Extraordinary people have always overcome disadvantage. That fact doesn't negate the existence of the disadvantage.

        What do you have in mind primarily when you say, hustle? (Pure curiosity - I'm always interested in how people define the word since it's used so much...)

        To take initiative. To do work beyond and above what is assigned by a superior.

        Everything about traditional schooling definitely hampers both of these. Who you are and who you know does not/should not matter. Work you do beyond what is assigned will not be rewarded.

        And the ability to interview well. Bring this all up a level, and really we just see that interpersonal skills are the most valuable tool for success. Soft skills > Hard skills

        100% disagree. Some of the best employees I’ve met that work outside of tech had next to zero network ability.

        Which is why it’s important to still have a gate that you let people through, and assess them as people, not checklists and demographic stereotypes
