Nowadays, I'd have to scroll through a lot more comments before reaching the bottom. Networking does indeed concentrate on finding other people you like who might potentially be useful. Too many of my business-school peers are eager to grab a business card and go. That's not true networking; that is only grabbing a bit of paper and running.

I wound up quitting, and getting a higher-level job at a new company. In essence, I got the promotion I wanted, just not at the company I wanted it at. It was absolutely the right thing to do. My unsolicited advice is to <strong>think long and hard</strong> before you decide to spend your time and energy trying to remake yourself in the eyes of your colleagues. In my experience it is not usually possible within a reasonable timeframe. Good luck.
