Hi all

What are some networking best practices when moving to a new city?

Join groups and participate in group activities. Professional, hobby, religious, etc. Some things happen over time, organically. Example: What if you joined the local PMI chapter and volunteered to help often? You would end up working with people that can introduce you to others, while also establishing some local credibility.

Hey Friends! Looking for advice!

My wife is a Chartered Accountant with 7+ years of experience as credit manager, underwriting loans with some leading banks in India. She just got her EAD and is looking for jobs, open to switch profiles as well. Do you think she would fit in for any role here in Seattle, WA? She has been a star performer and promoted twice in the last 3 years. One problem is companies look for US experience which she does not have, we just moved here early this year.
