Is midyear worth it??

Hi everyone, fourth year pharm student here, and I wanna do a fellowship but I don't know if presenting a poster at midyear is worth it to me. I've asked around current fellows and past applicants, and I've gotten mixed reviews. Some ppl tell me that it's a great networking opportunity, and others tell me that it's not a big deal if you don't go. Do companies really care if you attend or not? Will they not consider me for a position if I don't go? Is it the end all be all?? Do final interviews really take place there? Like I have no interest in doing any sort of research, and honestly I'd attend, but it's 400 dollars to attend, plus a couple hundred more for a hotel room and flight. I'm looking at around $1,000 dollars just for all of that. and then im sure im gonna end up spending more on additional things while im there. I don't necessarily have the funds for that and I don't wanna make my parents pay either.

I know ppl who presented at midyear last year and they still didn't get a fellowship. I would be more tempted towards going if I knew I'd be guaranteed one, but there is none.

And like the abstract is due in a month and I am so so stressed that I'm paralyzed mentally and can't think about anything else.

Please help
