What we’re about
This group is for all IT professionals, past, present, and future. We are a dedicated group of professionals who love to learn about anything in the broad IT field, and our group is for all skill levels. We host at least one meetup a month where we get together to learn about new technologies, fields, and opportunities. Our guest speakers are full-time professionals who work with cutting-edge technologies and want to share their passions.
Recruiters are always welcome at our events. Networking is a key to success when you are job hunting, so please reach out to any of the organizers with your resume if you would like us to give it to our recruiting partners.
Intellectual Point has been kind enough to host our meetup since its inception. If you would like to connect with Carrie at Intellectual Point please use carrie@intellectualpoint.com.

See allIf you're interviewing for a Cyber Analyst role, it's helpful to have a sense of what to expect. That way, you can practice your responses to common Cyber Analyst interview questions, so you'll feel poised and confident expressing yourself during the actual interview.
Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent, making it impossible for even smaller businesses to ignore their information security without risk. As companies face bigger threats in this arena, they are hustling to hire professionals who can take charge of their security. This demand for cybersecurity analysts translates well when it comes to compensation.
We will go over the types of interview questions, the skills you should have and highlight, and how to showcase your experience.
Technology professionals with the right set of skills have many options in the current employment market. Whether you’re an applications architect or data security analyst, there is a strong demand for highly skilled IT specialists.
It’s not surprising that many people aren’t comfortable asking for more money once their job search has ended and they have an offer in front of them. If the salary is reasonable, they don’t want to jeopardize the opportunity now that they’ve gotten this far.
If you have specialized skills and an impressive resume, you could be leaving money on the table if you don’t negotiate a salary offer.
Learn some tips on how to negotiate your salary tactfully and confidently at the meetup. It will be well worth the time!
