Hi guys,
I was wondering if any audio/live sound engineers could give me some advice on how to network in Chicago/Nashville in order to get audio engineering/live sound/recording engineer gigs? I've been realizing that searching endlessly only goes so far as for any job postings online versus networking in-person or over social media. What have been some of the most effective ways to land some gigs and to make new connections in order to get someone like me to get their foot in the door?

I realize this isn't an in-person suggestion, but have you tried doing any networking on LinkedIn? If so, I'm sorry for making that suggestion. It was just the first thing that popped into my mind. I'm sure there are some great networking groups for business owners in Chicago and Nashville that could potentially help you out!

Hi! In the process of switching from South FloRida to PA again to work at a hospital but making the same money? The switch would open me to be closer to family for support and the have a nursing prog,since the benefits are attractive and I’m looking forward to the future growth. The thing is they claim i only have experience of 7 years and offering me less than what I make now. I wanna go, but any suggestions on this negotiation cause I would still need to pay for a place to live and expenses.
