I'm trying to relocate to a new city and state where I don't know anybody. I've been trying to connect with people in these areas with little success. Does anyone have any advice on what I could do more? Right now I'm focusing on Austin and Minneapolis. If you are in either of these and open to talking, please let me know.

What’s been your go-to method to connect with people? Email? LinkedIn?

It’s super discouraging for sure. The other thing I’ve experienced, though, is that it’s easier to network and job hunt when you’re in the city, not just reaching out from afar. If you’re employed now, it’d be pretty scary to leave that for the unknown. But I also think you shouldn’t move to a city solely for a job. You have to like it and want to live there, too. Perhaps your current job would let you work remotely temporarily while you search and while they try to find your replacement.
