Ask HN: How to build a network without it taking over your social life?
Especially if you don't do a lot of socializing to begin with. I am single, I have only a few friends that I talk to regularly and I am happy with that. I don't want to live for my career, and don't care about company social events or other events for professionals. I want to have a good, steady career without increasing my social activity for work as I get older.
Maybe it's because I don't talk to many friends and family to begin with, but with the typical networking advice it feels too easy for my social activities to blow up considerably and I'm not trying to do that.
