Madison 🪐 Space Systems Engineer

🌆 I was recently invited to an engineering leadership dinner by an IT tech company called Nerdio, and while I had a great time and hospitality was wonderful, I was caught off guard by the invitation.

My invite email said that someone had recommended they invite me to one of these dinners where people network with other people in tech, but I don't know who and was surprised to be invited to something that's normally for executives.

This seafood restaurant was massive and full of very well dressed people, divided into many different dining rooms of different sizes. It's not the first setting I've felt intimidated by, but the feeling of being out of my depth or out of place was still there.

Thankfully the people were very friendly, I got to learn about the Telecom industry, and traded many good local restaurant recommendations with my table.
