Have your college/university relations helped you boost your career?

My network was helpful for work & development opportunities while still at school. These were important for growth and such, but once I graduated, my alum network wasn't too helpful anymore. Although maybe I simply didn't (and still do not!) leverage them enough

Yes, it is helpful when you are from a good college/university and also a college/Univesity's curriculum

Yes, my college/university relations have helped me boost my career. I have met many influential people through my college/university connections and have been able to learn from them.

My higher education network was not conducive to my career development. After university, I went to serve in the army. Then I went to work in the store. I rose through the ranks and I become a store manager. Then I went to work as a simple road worker in a road construction company. From there, I moved to an IT startup. Now I work as a middle-level engineer in the testing and analytics department. And by education I am a teacher of foreign languages ​​(German, English). I developed my own methodology for learning foreign languages. And I learned Romanian from it. In general, I do myself))

Not mine but boss of my friend leverage university network. He the boss used to study in UK's prominent university. When all of his college friends started business, he started a design agency. So all of his network end up becoming his costumers as they needed designs for their business.

It had a big impact on my career. After a conversation with my university friend at a group meeting, we decided for me to take part in his startup as a freelancer. After some time, I went beyond the department I studied in by starting a completely different profession as a full-time employee, and now I am working in the core team. We can say it's a major impact on my career! Be careful who you talk to at university:)

The name of the university has certainly helped (Job at Apple/Amex), but direct connections not so much

I got my job I am in currently through my university, which seems substantial.
