Network on Linkedin Like a Pro
There are levels to virtual networking.
Most software engineers treat it like a checkbox.
But if you want to unlock real career opportunities, the kind that don’t show up on job boards, you need to play a different game.
Here’s how the levels break down:
Amateur:
"I connect with other engineers on LinkedIn."
Intermediate:
"I connect with other engineers and occasionally comment on their posts."
Advanced:
"I connect with other engineers, comment regularly, and send follow-up messages to build relationships."
Expert:
"I connect intentionally, engage meaningfully, start value-driven conversations, create content around shared interests, and collaborate on projects or events."
The reality:
Getting referred, recruited, and respected in tech takes more than just hitting ‘Connect.’
It takes intentional virtual networking, built on consistency, curiosity, and giving more than you take.
If you're not sure how to start, I help software engineers build networking strategies that actually open doors (and inboxes).
