      Growing increasingly convinced that ability to network and hustle is the single greatest predictor of job success

      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.

      Yes and the in-group, who may not have been elite to begin with but once in, act the same

      I will put it this way: I will never “apply” for a job again for the rest of my life after knowing what I know. Most elite jobs are obtained through backchannels/referrals/introductions. The last thing some orgs want to deal with is a public hiring process.

          I still think it’s important for an org to give fresh opportunity to strangers. (I have sent in-boys back through the front door for trying to queue jump. A woman got the job.) In cases where orgs aren’t prepared to deal, how can “strangers” get in?
