Networking in today's world feels so pretentious. Is there a way to build professional relationships that doesn't feel so... icky? What's your approach to networking? Have you found ways to make it feel more authentic?

If yes where can I learn and get an certificate for free

Basically the title. I have been working in the sales domain for more than 5 years and for the last couple of years, I absolutely hate it due to stress and lack of interest. I have been learning python inconsistently for the last 1 year but now I have shifted my gears and learning statistics and ways to implement it on the real world problems through Python. Internal transfer is almost impossible as it is a pure sales organisation which outsource equipment from China and sell it here. I am a little bit concerned about my efforts and time which I am dedicating for the learning as I have gone through various articles and similar LinkedIn profiles and found one point of commonality i.e. Almost everyone had undergone a course based certification from Learning Sites such as Upgrad, Simplilearn etc. this questions my process of learning and making me worried about my decision to go on a self learning path. I don't have any Godfather in companies or good friends through whom I can at least apply for a refer. All I can do is to apply directly over the website. Would like to know your opinion?

I see many job posts that asks designer to know HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I have worked only in one company which didn't have any such requirement. Is it a mandatory thing?

I see some companies (especially famous ones) are still obsessed over these leetcode type questions in interview rounds even for experienced folks, it’s frustrating.

Going through something similar where the management has laid off 1/3rd the total team via forced resignation and without any severance. A bunch of folks who stood up to ask for reasons, severance etc are being threatened with termination and bad experience letter (and even lawsuits) Could really use your take if you or your colleagues have gone through something similar.
