As another former Apple employee that left for a startup, I feel compelled to say congratulations and good luck.

Hope you enjoy your new life!

(on topic) Meetups and events are perfect ways to find job opportunities, as long as you're willing to put in some effort. Any time you can show off your skills, some app you wrote, or provide advice for someone else, you are impressing people and proving your worth.

Congratulations! I just gave my two-weeks at Big Fruit, moving on to something very exciting. All my friends who have left have told me it's been a great decision for them.

As to how I got my job at Apple, started interning after meeting an engineering manager at a school event, and turned that into a fulltime position after graduation.

New job was through a friend of a friend.

Good luck! I hope it works out for you!
