So if the job marketplaces are flooded, where does one find a job anymore? It seems like one should spend maybe 20% of their work time just maintaining professional connections to make sure they can find a job when they inevitably need one.

Yes, networks can be important. Since the one I got after an on-campus interview in grad school, every job I've had has been directly through people I knew. I don't know how to quantify the time spent. It was mostly organic through people I had worked with in some capacity.

    There are also events, meetups, etc. But I think it's a legitimate point that fewer and shallower connections tend to be made virtually.
