In my career, I've realised that while technical skills are crucial for executing projects, networking is just as essential for promoting your work. Without building connections, it can be challenging to sell your art or product, no matter how good it is. We've all seen this reality play out: skills and networking often complement each other like two sides of a coin. This topic is deep and applies to every field. What are your thoughts on this balance?

Many believe that having the right connections can open doors that technical skills alone cannot. A strong network can provide opportunities, referrals, and mentorship. 🥰

For me Both are essential for career success.
Both are essential networking helps land opportunities and technical skills ensure you can perform.
Both are essential, but I believe skills come first, although it would depend on your role within the team. I’ve seen many project teams that focus heavily on networking, only to have their product suffer from numerous bugs and issues. In the end, no matter how many people you attract, they’ll eventually leave if the product quality isn’t there.
Based on my previous work experience, technical development makes up only 40% of the entire product. The other 60% involves operations, promotion, and business support, all of which are interdependent. Without any of these elements, the product cannot succeed.
I think networking is important. Networking is often crucial for career advancement, especially in competitive fields.
