Planning a trip to SFO for 2-3 weeks

Hi GVs, Looking to connect with folks with exp in AI & some full stack exposure for a side project in travel/hospitality sector. Idea is to solve discovery issue for consumers & offer solutions across value chain. Ps: Saw some thread on GV bashing such posts quoting: non-tech people seeking ‘tech labour’ :( disagree there; strongly believe diverse skillset is necessary for biz of any nature Status: Validating idea & use cases with diff channel partners & frnds, family, & secondary research What i bring to table? My work-ex lies in retail sales & consulting (current job, past infra & now in hospitality), tier 1 mba engg profile

I don't buy Apple products but some electronics are way cheaper there that I'd like to explore, like a good quality fitness tracker for dad. Would it be possible to hunt for jobs/consulting gigs while I'm there on a tourist visa? Visiting SF would be impossible, I'm mostly restricted to Michigan and the trip is going to be 2-3 weeks max. Any other suggestions? Advice? I'm visiting after more than a decade (last visit pre 9/11), has anything changed significantly that I should keep in mind?

Hi, I am a 2023 passout btech graduate. Currently I am working as a full time SDE (Full Stack) in a well established startup (8 years old , Series A funded). It's been nearly half year here. My compensation is 10.5 lakh base + 4.5 lakh performance bonus + free lunch and snacks + Insurance (Including parents) benefits I am pretty good at DSA (around 2000 rating on leetcode, 4 Star at codechef in 2nd year itself, 2000+ dsa problems) I have worked in 2 startups as an SDE intern during college days and completed 5 internships overall out of which one was a US based startup. Also, I have many publications under my name over the internet. I had many offers when I was graduating from college. Most of the time people say, "Hey, you have done so much so Why are you not working in a big tech". Well I always wanted to work for big tech during college days but after I started working in startups my thought process changed as here I got the ownership of the product. Now it has been nearly 1 year since I started working in startups. Should I give it a try for big tech now? Would like to hear your views guys

Hey folks, Would be grateful if you could connect me with some founders, co-founders, CPO's of HR-Tech Indian and global startups.
