In much of the world the path to making bank is dependent on getting contacts.

Yeah, but you usually don't count them as the same thing, but more like "more contacts > more work > more bank", but that's just doing normal client work for money.

>>bryanr+(OP)
Sure, but if I grind leetcode to get a good job, then work 50 hours per week at it and by doing so make bank - describing my action as "people who grind leetcode can make bank" conceals more than it reveals.

yeah but as we increase what amount we mean by bank we will notice that having contacts becomes more and more an essential component.

Grinding leetcode has an upperbound as to how much 'bank' it contributes, and in some conversations people would laugh and say that small amount you are talking about does not constitute bank as they sip on their fancy little drinks on their private jets whilst going through their contacts list.
