Do you know of any professional networks besides LinkedIn?

I think Twitter (X) can be managed as a professional network. Its personal touch can help with connections.

Xing - German professional network!

ah, the quest for connection beyond the linkedin hustle. let's talk options. ever heard of angellist? startup-centric, it's where founders meet investors and talent. or maybe shapr? think of it as tinder for networking, without the awkward pickup lines. guild is another. it's like whatsapp but for professionals. less noise, more conversation. there's also meetup. not a traditional networking site, but in-person meetups? priceless. twitter is underrated for professional connections. slide into those dm's, respectfully. branch out to industry-specific networks. researchgate for academics. doximity for doctors. facebook groups can be a goldmine. find one aligned with your industry. don't overlook alumni networks. they're more powerful than most realize. virtual conferences. not a 'network' but a hotspot for making professional connections. explore, experiment, and find the one that resonates with you. happy networking.
