i went to a fundraising event for a relatively conservative organization. i am a member of a couple of pretty liberal organizations as well because i'm involved in NYC stuff. this was in NYC. in years of going to mainly 'liberal' events, i made connections, but they never really panned out into anything substantive career wise. were they good events that furthered decent causes? sure. but that knock off benefit of furthering my career? nothing.

i go to this particular event and legit got 2 STRONG career leads. partner at a relatively strong midlevel firm meets and we chat and in 5 minutes he finds out i'm taking the bar and we share some other things in common. mind you, he's like a 60 year oldish jewish guy and i'm a 40 year old latino dude. he goes "be sure to call me" and we trade cards. Another guy, also older, same thing.

ffwd two days later. he gives me a call: "any interest in working for me?" of course, i could use a landing place. "i got you. always good to help a young family man trying to get in the field." same day, get an email from another guy at a small boutique shop "be sure to send me your resume. you should be good, but would like to talk to you and see if we could make this work. its always hard to find good guys."

maybe it's just a coincidence, but interesting nonetheless.

im sure that doesn't hurt. but i like to think the nature of the connection is stronger than "he's a brown guy, we need brown guys". and i think it's pretty easy to find urm lawyers. not like law schools arent full of brown people.

the grass is always greener on the other side. i don't feel like i hit the lottery being latino. i feel as if a lot of times--and this could be garden variety imposter syndrome/insecurity--that when people hear of my academic background they think "well, affirmative action..." etc.

at the end of the day, if it's getting my foot in the door, the only thing i can do is leverage that which i haven't.

i've been thinking about it and i have a theory about it. i think at a lot of liberal-ish events, many of the professionals are doing well but not really in the position to "make jobs". they can refer you strongly, but ultimately it's up to someone else. think like a bunch of midlevels...they can pass on your resume, but they can't straight out hire you.

i'm just spitballing here.

You may actually be onto something there, the lib events do have movers and shakers, but it's primarily movers and shakers "adjacent" who may have wind of something and can connect you. They're connectors, mostly.

you get where my head's at. i look at my frat and there is a general frustration in the organization that young guys are not getting jobs offered by old heads. and the old heads are like "we're still not in the position in our organizations to make jobs" whereas the guys who built their own businesses can do that but they are few and far between.

the biggest mistake the first large wave of black and brown college educated dudes made was chasing the corporate success instead of staking out on their own and making their own businesses.

FATCEPS input here would be interesting since he's part of an organization that's black and RATHER old that i think does a good job of "hooking up" their brothers.

Cr, but you can't blame a first wave for trying to ingratiate themselves into the traditional mold of power, which in a sense did pave the way for them to join their white brethren in UMC wagecuckery.

But tcr, always and in any situation, is to set up your own thing. Period.

i actually believe he's black. he said a couple of things about his frat that basically you can't fake and i can confirm. i thought he was running "fake black guy" schtick and then i was convinced otherwise. tbf, black greek orgs do have an open door policy about pledges so he COULD be indian and still be a black greek.

for example

one of the world's most famous que dawgs.

180. I've noticed the same.

People who go to liberal cause events are usually on the fringe of society.

People who go to republican events are business minded and look at the event as a networking opportunity.

Go to a lib event in NYC like Women in Communication or some shit, you'd used to see Mika Brezinski and Joan Rivers yukking it up. Lib events bring out the A list.

Repub events are much more low key.

Might be a personality thing. I've had better luck networking in conservative circles and I'm a minority. GF has also had much better luck with conservative investors and employers.

It's prob not a coincidence. Your vibe is likely a little different than other minorities since you post here.
