Ask HN: Hoping to relocate to NYC. Any tips?
I am looking to relocate to NYC. Do you have any tips on meetups/networking events to build a network and find opportunities?
Check us out, and if you're interested, feel free to shoot me an email with some info about your background! If it's a fit, I can invite you to some of our events. We typically look for people with some startup experience who are looking to play around with side projects.
a) What technology do you primarily use? b) What type of work are you looking for? I'm not a consultant, but I might be able to put you in touch with folks c) Have you been to New York City before? The atmosphere here is totally different than San Francisco/Mountain View.
I'm actually looking at moving to Mountain View. I love coding, architecture, building shit and not getting caught up in theory :)
If your need to find a job is not immediate, you can also check AngelList and network with employees from NY startups.
If the need for a job is quite immediate, startup recruiters might be more effective.
