>> So networking I think is extremely important because you go to these events,
whether it's within your firm or outside your firm, so you might have exposure
to people you wouldn't have otherwise.
So for example, my company has several different employee networking groups;
it's kind of part of a formal firm wide organization,
and one of which is the women's group, which I belong to.
I've belonged to since I first joined there.
There are a lot of senior women who go to these events, and other senior members of the firm,
so maybe you know whether it's a male or female senior person who comes,
you have that opportunity to interact with them, were they're not your boss.
You know it's someone you can just talk to.
They might speak at a panel, and then you can ask Q&A of them,
and then there's usually you know some sort of like reception afterwards.
So just even having that interaction because then later on you know ten years down the road,
you might be you know looking for a job and that person can help.
You know was like, "Oh.
I remember meeting you at all these events."
And they can help you out in the future, so things like that are just I think you know,
very important, and they're critical.
