I had a mentoring session last night with a poc I’ve been working with who went to his first local cybersecurity con, recently. He had such a bad experience with people being cliquey there and ignoring him that he’s ready to stop trying to get into the industry. 😥😰 I knew there are some cultural issues at that con and area but had no idea they were so bad, and encouraged him to maybe look at other cities in the US and their cons. Pitch your city’s infosec community and scene and I’ll share with him?
@hacks4pancakes We are not a city, but @thetaggartinstitute maintains inclusivity and welcoming of all learners as a core value. I'm sure they could find a welcoming space with opportunities with us, if they like. https://discord.gg/taggartinstitute

@mttaggart @thetaggartinstitute it’s more finding a job though in a specific city and moving there, though…
@hacks4pancakes @thetaggartinstitute Understood! Apologies if I misunderstood. Although, that exact scenario has occurred more than few times for us.
