A rising tide lifts all boats - chip in to keep the ADJ boat* afloat.
MONTHLY PLANS:
or ONE-TIME CONTRIBUTIONS:
There are typically four types who want to give back to ADJ:
- you’ve found a great job through our community
- are an employer who uses our free resources to find talent
- you’ve benefited from resume help, free interview prep, or you genuinely appreciate the community
- we’ve made an investment in your career and you want to pay it forward
Regardless of your motivation, the community needs your help. Many job seekers will start contributing once they’ve found their next job in order to pay it forward. Employers that don’t yet have the budget to be involved in offline events can contribute to keep us from having to charge to post. We’re not trying to get rich off of this boat*, just aiming to keep the lights on for you!
- Employers post jobs for free
- Free laser-focused career advice
- Three offline networking events
- Three featured members (ADJer of the Month)
- Regular video pep talks from fellow members
- Weekly member networking roundup opportunities
- Free mentorship program
- And more
Paying it forward ensures that the next members get these same opportunities (and people don’t ditch Austin for Silicon Valley)!
*The boat theme is an inside joke amongst ADJ members.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Austin Digital Jobs is the only place in town where tech talent gathers, long after they’ve found their next job. ADJ celebrates the tremendous expertise where we’re headquartered and boasts over 60,000 members on Facebook since it was founded in 2011 (and 350+ in our LinkedIn Group, founded in 2024). We’re devoted to keeping people in Austin and attracting new brands – letting our hair down while we do it.
ADJ is not a recruiter’s website, we do not profit in any way when someone is hired through our group, and they are not charged to post job listings. It is a product of The American Genius, which offers a strong news voice in the entrepreneur and tech world, offering meaningful, concise insight into emerging technologies, the digital economy, best practices, and a shifting business culture. ADJ is our love letter to the Austin tech community, to which we are deeply devoted.
Since we’re all friends here, I’ll confide in you that the fees employers pay to be at our events doesn’t even come close to covering what it costs to run ADJ. So, we’re asking for your help in order to keep our events and group free to all members.
We take your privacy seriously – we do not store any financial information and will never sell your information to a third party. Please note, that payment processors have their own rules separate from ours.
Want to contribute more? Tell us what’s on your mind! Hoping to contribute once instead of monthly? Click your preferred payment icon (Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal) in the pricing list, and type in the amount you’re comfortable with.
Cancel your monthly contribution ANY time, we promise not to harass you or guilt you or send you pictures of sad animals. No refunds will be issued once payment is received.
That’s a great question, and we have no judgment here. The best way you can contribute is to be involved! Share memes on the meme threads, introduce yourself in the weekly announcement post, and/or answer questions others have if it’s in your area of expertise. We want to see you at our events (and heck, maybe volunteer at the door for an hour if you’re into that sort of thing)! And of course, if ADJ helps you land your next role and money starts coming back in, please remember us and come back here, sailor!
Hit up our contact page any time – there is (mostly) no such thing as a stupid question!
