Nobody is denying that having connections can help get a good job. The TCs claim is that its the only way to get a good job, which is bullshit and probably a coping mechanism for why he doesnt have a better job.

My job is great and I didnt even know anybody in the country when I got it.

That's fair, actually.

I probably read through the histrionics of TC's post to get to the (assumed) actual point. Yes, it's obviously not the "only" way, so we don't disagree. My bad, I probably gave TC too much credit.

EDIT: I'm also, admittedly, biased. At my last job, they hired a tech lead who was obviously underqualified, but also came cheaper than the one they replaced, and she promptly basically tried to bury us existing staff so she could point to "failed" contracts to let us go and hire her friends for cheaper, and the CEO fell for it. That said, joke's on him, about three months after she succeeded in surrounding herself with all of her friends, they literally all left for different positions, that they leveraged with the jobs they had landed with the company I worked for. Get what you sow, I guess.
