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.

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?
