I just moved to NYC and currently work in tech as a program manager. I’m looking to meet more people in the NYC tech community. What are your favorite tech networking groups?
Most of them are garbage and full of people looking for jobs out of boot camps. If you belong to minority groups, I’ve heard some of the women, Asian, Latino, etc. developer and product oriented groups are pretty good. NY Tech Meetup - general talks from other tech companies in the NYC area with a nice mixer at the end HackerNest - people at startups looking for funding and engineers Designers + Geeks - intersection between design and tech
Is there ANYTHING good in terms of meetups in the city or LI? Was thinking about HackerNest as a pure "hey let's make friends in the NY dev community" thing but I'm not gonna show up just to be solicited by BLOKCHAINE startup loons. NYTM's next meetup is about political lgbt stuff I don't give a shit about. Not directly related to my question, but the last NYC .NET Devs was cold: show up, listen, leave. If this one is more of the same I'm just gonna stop using meetup.com and stop trying to interact with dev communities.
Meetups are for the knowledge and the food. Try kaggle nyc if youre into data science
Kx has the best meetups. Friendly Irish people everywhere
Firneo (more geared towards tech BD folks) but PMs, DataSci, and Marketing growing
Awesome. Is it free to join?
Can we get a name for referral
