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.

lol what? they kill for brown people.
Wish I was black, it's like hitting the fucking lottery.
Except for racism and stuff like that.

"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."
Well, you said it. Don't let white people bitching about AA bother you. I'm white. We're just mad bc all other things considered brown = brownie points. (no pun intended)

I know plenty of people who make connections thru lib stuff, diversity events, etc.
So it was prob a coincidence.

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.

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.

Sorry tubby, that's not true.
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.
