I did this for a while and certainly got some leads but the really well paid roles still seemed to come mostly via recruiters.
The "networking" was also very time consuming. It was also fun but if i had a wife and kids I wouldnt have had the time for it.
The good recruiters seemed to have a knack for finding the companies that were the right combination of rich and desperate whereas companies I found through my network were generally from companies that were always keen on talking to a decent technologist but werent exactly craving somebody with my precise skillset to start next week.
