You really do have to know people. Put out some feelers to contacts on LinkedIn who work in tech or have worked in tech, see if they can refer you! Also you might have friends who work in tech and don’t even realize it based on their job title… that’s what happened to me 😂

It doesn't help that he always presents outdated ideas and throws UX out the window. I know that I know my stuff and keep up with best practices. I have 4+ years experience but am treated as entry level.
