I found out from an ad on here that a startup in a field I am interested in were based 2 minutes from my flat and were hiring, so I got in in touch and ended up working there for 5 years and had a lot of fun, made some great friends and it moved my career in a really interesting direction. I’d never have thought of applying to them otherwise so it worked out well for me!
