Recently moved to LA (close to west side). Anyone know any volunteer organizations that have been a good avenue to meet people and make friends? I know probably less stuff going on with COVID, but interested in hearing pre-COVID activities too!

Recently got an offer at a consulting firm as a specialist starting next month and thinking about starting my side hustle in VC/Accelerator. Graduated 3 months before COVID. I had been working in fixed income securities for the past 2-3 years. If say getting something like VC Scout, I’m okay if not being paid, would you guys have any suggestion? Any advice on my VC/Acc plan would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Let's talk side hustles! I think a lot of us did PRN/flex jobs pre COVID 19.
