Some believe success comes from working harder, while others say it’s about who you know. In your experience, which one has played a bigger role in your career growth?
 
As a matter of balance between hard work and networking, career success typically at least requires both diligent effort and intelligent networking since skills open the door, but the ties hold the door open.
 
Career success is a balance of both hard work and smart networking. Hard work builds skills, expertise, and credibility, while networking opens doors to opportunities, mentorship, and visibility. Together, they create sustainable growth and long-term professional success.
 
Career success is usually a mix of both. Hard work builds skills, credibility, and results, while smart networking creates opportunities, visibility, and access. Hard work keeps you valuable; networking helps you get noticed. People who combine strong performance with meaningful connections tend to advance faster and more sustainably.
 
Career success depends on both hard work and smart networking. Hard work builds skills, experience, and credibility, while networking opens doors to opportunities, mentorship, and visibility. Working hard without connections can limit growth, and networking without competence rarely lasts. The most successful careers balance consistent effort with meaningful professional relationships and strategic connections.
 
Career success depends on a balance of hard work and smart networking. Hard work builds skills, credibility, and results, while networking opens opportunities, mentorship, and visibility. Without effort, connections alone won’t sustain growth; without relationships, achievements may go unnoticed. Combining diligence with strategic networking maximizes career advancement and long-term success.
