    Linkedin and networking my dude, work hard at the current place but analyse the grass on the other side of the fence. I get a LinkedIn message from recruiters/head hunters at least once a month, and try to reply as often as possible. Any interactions within your company or with outside vendors, ensure they know you’re competent and approachable, and add contacts you get along with to LinkedIn to build a professional network. It does get disheartening going for roles outside of your range of expertise and being told you’re not aligned for the role, but emphasise soft skills and transferrable attributes. EDIT: tldr; approach professional roles like you’re a priviledged white man that deserves to be there

      Thanks for the tip! I will try and brush up my Linkedin, added a few things over the weekend but probably need to highlight those transferable skills in my career history. Also will use the ‘privileged white man’ mindset next time :D
