How to build a network? Please help...

I know beyond a certain level I can no longer brute force my way through my career. I'm trying to expand my network among FAANGers but I have failed. Please help. Here's what I've tried, all failed. - Lots of people use alumni connection. That doesn't really work for me as I don't have a CS degree and shared experiences only go so far. - My network is mostly people outside tech because of my educational background. I'm the only person in my peer group that made it to a top tech company. - Other people look at ex colleagues for network. This is all nice but most of my org are rest and vesters and MSFT for life. There are hungry younger folks but are unlikely to move before I do. - Unlike all those affinity groups like women only or certain race only I don't belong to any one of them. Somehow a non CS dude is a minority and nobody gives a fuck about me. - MSFT has this networking program for college hires but not open to industry hires like me. So much for inclusion. - Fuck this I feel really depressed. I can't name a single person who would know me in any of the FAANG companies. I know all you FAANGers have friends working in other FAANG company. - Before covid I would go to various tech events. Unfortunately there are very few FAANG people present. TBH most are filled with boot camp people. Am I fucked? Please help. Oh yeah L61, $180k with 4 yoe. Just started at Microsoft less than a year ago. #tc #faang
