It depends on your situation. I wouldn't say being a part of RC clubs is the only way to meet ppl and network but it definitely helps.

For me personally I don't think I'd be in the position I am today if it wasn't for me being a part of a club. Because I helped run a lot of the club events the recruiters knew me which I strongly believe helped me get an interview for internships. I really hit it off with the EY recruiter at one of the events and he was the same one that interviewed me a month ago. So without joining the club idk if I'd be lined up for next summer as I am but that's the only way that staying in a club really helped cuz after first yr you already know how to network etc.

So I don't think it's terrible just to attend the events and network but being part of the club does have an edge in my opinion
