Im 24M, Asian, WFH
Lived in Arizona for all my life and went to university in LA. Since moving back I feel like theres not many opportunities to network with people in my field or even meet new friends. The Meetup app is quite lacking or filled with cultish looking events. Any suggestions from another Gen Z?

Bumble has a friends-only platform? 😮

Be the change you want to see! Someone else here took the reigns and organized a happy hour, you could do the same. Or start your own meetup!

Are you in Phoenix or elsewhere in Arizona?

I’m hover between Phoenix, Mesa, and Gilbert depending on the day

I would think the Tempe area would have younger people around more than the areas you mentioned. I have lived in Tempe, Mesa, Phoenix/Glendale area, Scottsdale in the past 20 plus years. Tempe was always my favorite for hangouts with friends. Depends on what you like to do, I suppose but you are more likely to meet younger people in the Tempe area, like Mill avenue. Mesa is too far out and not much exciting there at all, in my opinion. Gilbert has a hip downtown. Phoenix downtown is more urbanized now with more restaurants around the condos, if you like a downtown city vibe.

Yeah feel the same as a Millennial. WFH too and my coworkers are like almost twice age so don't really talk to them much. Been to several meetups too but haven't been able to establish any friends since moving out here from out of state. Hope it gets better, but I just look forward to solo trips and my hobbies to keep me occupied in the meantime. I'm down to get on discord to just talk if you want.

it feels like every survey about working from home is (poorly) designed to answer the useless question "would you rather work from home or from the office." I submit that the set of people who prefers to have only one of those two options, always and forever, is the null set. which means it DOES NOT MATTER because the correct answer is always going to be "make both possible." you're welcome, HR departments everywhere.
