Were they bilking you for contacts? Why on earth would that be a requirement? I'm wary of any job that requires me to disclose connection to non-employment related parties. It's a pretty well known scam technique used by places such as multi-level marketing to exploit someone and then toss them when sales channels through their contacts are exhausted.

No, that was a company with ~$5B revenues, they didn't need my contacts. My guess management thought people with many friends would be better team players.
