  Detriment to her career path? Did you read the right article? More like her lack of networking deterred her from getting the benefits of knowing people, benefits her peers can enjoy.

    No, you should re-read the article. She states that if she lacks networking, then she'd need to get by with wealth -- which then she follows up in a significant part of the article with why she doesn't have wealth due to taking up a less privileged career path.

      You're mixing success in career with success in life (wealth/status). She's doing fine in her career path, right? If I want to be an accomplished historian of e.g. Tibetan architecture, I can know everything in that field, but it's probably not going to pay well because society doesn't care. Then again, googling what "career success" means, the results say it's a personal definition, so maybe we're both wrong.
