You can have a CV that makes senior devs weep with envy, interview skills smoother than a perfectly optimized O(1) algorithm, and a portfolio so pristine it belongs in a museum. But none of that matters when Chad from your buddy's team says "yeah I know a guy" to the hiring manager.
The tech industry's dirty little secret: networking beats merit about 70% of the time. That Master's degree you spent two years grinding for? Cool story. Your friend who plays ping-pong with the CTO every Thursday? That's your golden ticket.
It's not what you know, it's who you know—and who's willing to vouch that you won't be a total disaster in stand-ups.
