The hidden cost is years of quiet non-preparation: certifications not earned, networks not built, Key Value Propositions never articulated. Covers credentials as compound interest (certifications for finite near-term goals, structured degrees for infinite long-term ones), defining and communicating your KVP, and the most expensive networking mistake: waiting until you need a network to build one.
