Used to think networking events were a total waste of time

I skipped them for years because I figured it was just awkward small talk. Last month I went to one in Denver because a coworker dragged me along, and I ended up getting a lead on a job opening that paid $15k more than my current role. Has anyone else had a random event actually pay off like that?

Fifteen grand? Just from one lousy happy hour?

That kind of money from happy hour just proves how crazy overpriced everything has gotten lately.

Man, @kevin_harris78 is right, fifteen grand for drinks is nuts.
