I know for me, because we are in a technology shift like onpremise to cloud, now ai heavy development, anything that doesnt show progress towards that shift is going to hard to get past.

That's what we're doing too, but it's at a slower pace bc of the regulations we have to deal with at my company.

Networking can really help here, especially when trying to break into a new city or industry.
