Hey everyone,

I keep hearing that networking is the best way to land a job, but what do you do when your entire network is in a field you’re trying to leave?

I’m a teacher trying to transition into anytjing else but network is all educators, and that’s not helpful for breaking into a new industry. Plus, even letting them know I’m looking to leave opens up a whole other can of worms. And i recently moved to a new city.

So where do I even start?

Hey Dallas folks!

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities. I'm thinking about looking for a smaller company (couple hundred to couple thousand employees) in the Dallas area and looking to find an amazing culture.

Anyone have recommendations on companies with great cultures in the Dallas/north of Dallas areas? (I live in the Plano/Allen/Mckinney area)
