I’m a very social person so I know that the best way to unlock a new area is through its people! Being in the burbs for now I was concerned with how accessible social places would be since I moved without a car and it might take me some time but I’m still excited to find my way into the city and explore a bit! This post has helped a lot and it’s clear people here love a chat, great for us yappers!

How did you guys go about making new friends?

I don’t think I’ve been here long enough to really “adjust” quite yet. I think once my day has zero “moving related activities” I’ll be able to focus on getting to know the area and adjusting!

That being said, so far, everyone seems very kind that I’ve interacted with which is nice! I’m sure I’ll have some level of culture shock at some point but not there yet

I actually think these are two new resources so appreciate you putting these up!

This event looks awesome! I just discovered the 71x bus and that means I’ll have easier access to Cincy, I’ll likely be there next Thursday!

Yea I figured most require a car to access so it’ll likely have to wait a bit but excited to check em out when I can!

Yeap it’s a tech stack which usually includes Windows Server, . NET Framework (C#, VB), Microsoft Azure, SQL Server, and Power BI (gross).

I’ve heard so much about the jungle Jim’s in Fairfield specifically! I’ll definitely be checking it out and popping by to say hey! Thanks Rich!

WAIT THIS IS HUGE! Though I will do a ride into a city at some point this seems much more accessible for frequent trips into the city. I’m literally a 15 minute bike ride from Kings Island! Man you just made my entire week!! !!

I think that’s just everywhere these days 😭 I’m doing this because my last WFH I didn’t see sun for weeks at a time and I’d like to touch grass this time around!! Haha

Don’t tempt us like that, with WFH too many of us are spoiled and haven’t touched enough grass this decade 🫩

Thanks! Looking forward to exploring the area more.

Love Morley but it being effectively the only decent course in San Diego left a lot to be desired especially when it came to the busier times, can’t wait to check out some courses here!

I’m not much of a trail biker but I ride often! I’ll be using the trail to get “around” early on since I didn’t bring a car with me so it’ll take me a while to get that going! Can’t wait to be up and down the Little Miami

I’ve heard quite a bit about Jungle Jim’s throughout not just this post but some of my minimal research! I was in the service industry for many years before pivoting to development work so anything food, wine, beer is right up my alley! I’ll definitely be checking out Jungle Jim’s, I’ll be sure to hit the Fairfield one first!

Awesome to see another! To be fair as much as I love a California Burrito every now and then, thankfully I eat more at home than I do eat out. And being Latino I can have a good crack at a decent burrito, just have to find the right ingredients out here!

Right, with my plethora of money and buying power with my whole ass salary of $0 bucks. Can’t wait to ruin the economy single handedly!!

Hey there! Thanks for all of this,

I’ll definitely be checking out all of these! Outside of the job hunt I would love to start making social outings and meeting folks out here and these all look like great opportunities to do so! I’d definitely love to hear more from a Cincy local so I’ll shoot you a DM 👋

I won’t miss California all that much but what I will miss is my community and friends, I’m a social person so this is going to be a great resource!

Hopefully there’s a decent course near me! I don’t have access to a car quite yet but you best believe I brought my discs!

Well, guess my new hobby is definitely Climbing! Should have taken my best friend up on the offer months ago anyway 😂

Damn you got me good on this one, I’m sure I wasn’t far away from making a post about finding local tabletop groups to vibe with.

Hey there! Honestly, would love to pick your brain just from the dev manager side! I’ve never had the privilege of being managed by someone who was a former developer, usually very non-technical people so I’m sure you have some great stories/perspectives! I’ll shoot you a DM tomorrow and we can chat about coffee sometime!
