Ask HN: Does it help to attend a SaaS conference to get a job in a SaaS startup?

I'm trying to decide whether the price of admission to an upcoming SaaStock conference (1K USD) is worth it for what I want out of it.

I'm on the lookout for a full-stack/front-end/eng. manager role in a SaaS startup. I'd like to meet startups that are hiring and pitch them my profile. I have my own bootstrapped SaaS business that I currently work on full-time but want to continue working on as a side hustle, while I work a full-time job.

Wondering if SaaStock is a quality conference that attracts hiring managers in startups.

Any tips from people who have attended this conference or found a job through attending a similar conference? Also tips on finding a job through meetups, conferences and other unconventional means are welcome.
