I’m generally happy to network with people. I’m more likely to respond to someone who is asking for a real purpose. Like if they are thinking of joining my company or if we have some mutual connection.

If your company is publicly traded, be careful how you phrase responses to certain questions from folks, even friendlies.

I’m curious to know if anyone has experience working part-time in architecture? I have been working for large international firms in NYC for the past 10 years. So I work all day every day.

Any recommendations?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
