I’m at Deloitte and trying to switch to soln eng. at Salesforce; I have a solid network at SF already. Is it worth flying out to the SF Dreamin conferences in Lake Tahoe or the Midwest this summer? I’m trying to network and meet recruiters or other sales folks at SF. I would be paying my own way (flight, hotel) and going alone (kind of awkward). BUT I got my first job through a conference, so I was thinking of doing the same here.

You’re overthinking this. There are hundreds of people at SF who would happily give you a referral. Just DM someone or straight up ask here on fishbowl

That’s not how their referrals work.

I found Salesforce contacts incredibly willing to give referral or be references for a specific position. Some I only knew from LinkedIn and not in real life. The one that referred me in was a CSM from a previous employer
