This is the perfect post to kick things off in the new year. The tip on being specific about what you want and company size was particularly helpful. I think there's a tendency to keep it general to avoid eliminating options/opportunities.
On specificity, this helps avoid your networking not knowing how to help. I had a call myself, early in the transition, where this really well-connected guy just said, "I'm not sure what you need from me." A wasted opportunity, which was entirely my fault.
