People to Avoid at RE Networking Events

[David Garrison]

Hi Everyone!

I'm moving to Dallas in a couple weeks and I'm going to start networking as soon as I'm settled. I'm used to networking for work so I usually can tell when someone isn't genuine but this is going to be a whole new ball game. In another post, I saw someone mention identifying and avoiding people that are just trying to take advantage of a newbie. Rather than hijack that thread, I figured I'd start one here.

What are some examples you've seen or experienced where naivete created difficulties for you or someone you know?

Thanks in advance!
