Unfortunately there's no silver bullet.

Mostly networking is revolving around making strong long-term connections, I got my job because I was close to my co-founder, then she reached out to some friends, one of whom was a recruiter and I got an interview.

Another was staying in touch with someone who was my boss 16 years ago, we re-connected and I was able to get prep for interviews at his company.

Another was a engineer I worked with, and you guessed it, got a referral to his company and some prep.

The wider the net, the more likely you'll know someone in a different industry. I have contacts now in AI, Video games, SAAS startups, FAANG, etc.
