While you’re searching for a job, it can be helpful to network with others already in your target industry. If you aren’t already in an existing tech hub or are searching for a remote tech job, niche slack communities can be a great tool for connecting with employers, peers, and getting more involved in the industry that you’d like to find a job in. These communities are focused on a specific set of shared interests and include dedicated channels for job postings, events, introductions, and other helpful resources.
