No job is safe. You can get laid off at any time, even if you are in the most prestigious companies.
That’s why building a great professional network is so important. You’ll never know when you’ll need it.
I love helping people. I receive a ton of messages on LinkedIn on a regular basis. And I try to reply and help to my best ability, either through informational call, contact reference, career advice, or referrals. I genuinely feel good while helping others.
Most people don’t do this, especially if they think they are in a more “superior” position. But the second they need help from others, it’s too late.
Build your network when you don’t need it.
