Six has been key to my carrier advancement. Every single job I got was people coming to me - because I was visible and they liked what they saw of me and thought I would be a good fit. And in all but one it ended up working out for both of us, and in that one not so great fit I transitioned to other satisfying and mutually beneficial work.

Visibility should never be underestimated - not just for potential positive, but negative effects too. So many of our younger generation doing so many stupid things on social media is going to be a real long term problem if attitudes around things like cancelling people for anything uttered at any point in time on Twitter aren't changed more broadly in our society.
