If I'm working 80hrs with you, I'll pick the likable guy over the hardo anyday, assuming a baseline of technical proficiency. Life is not about IB guys, go get laid, get your heart broken, go on overseas trips, do stupid ****! So many hardo freshies tried to networked with me, my advice to them is always to enjoy their uni life.

I think it's fair to plan in advance, especially for jobs that realistically require multiple prior related internships. the issue comes when ppl make it the sole purpose of their uni life. i read a funny comment on wso that was like "i dont think our work is that hard so ill pick the guy who wont make me want to blow my brains out"
