Update 5/8: 30 people have reached out! I'll be organizing a few groups for those who've reached out. If you haven't reached out yet but would like to be included, feel free to DM, but I may not be able to accommodate.

Hey there,

I recently started a full-time, self-funded search and am looking to build a small support group. We'd have a group chat and meet regularly (every ~2 weeks). The goal is to have a sounding board to reach with any basic questions and to make the journey a bit more social / less alone.

DM me if interested. Ideally, you're either searching full-time or on the path towards doing so. Would like to mix diverse work experience, backgrounds, goals, etc. This would help mix advice and reduce overlap, so that people feel comfortable sharing their active deals. I personally am searching for a few industries - IT, accounting, software primarily - nationwide.

Hope to hear from you!

I would want to be in it as well!!

However, I would like to tell that I am not a searcher but I work with searchers providing services helpful in their search. I think I can add value to those discussions as well, so would like to be in.

Love this idea. I've spoken with several searchers recently who would benefit from something like this. I'll keep this in mind as I speak with people. Most of the searchers I connect with are based here in Texas.
