Peers

Someone at your stage who sees the work from next door.

Two project managers at different firms. An estimator and a superintendent. Peers are matched at a similar experience level, with problems in common and something to learn from each other.

How peer matching works

Pick the kind of peer

Same field, neighboring field, any field, an accountability partner, or someone to swap a skill with.

A neighboring field, on purpose

Peers one or two steps away from your occupation are favored over identical ones. Research on weak ties (Granovetter 1973; Rajkumar et al. 2022, Science) found that moderately weak ties carry the most new information and opportunity.

Similar level

Peers are matched at a similar experience level, so nobody ends up mentoring by accident.

Both ways

Peers answer both sides of the managing questions, so you're matched on how you'd actually work together.

Each pays their own

The default for peer meetups. You can change it while planning.

Free

Like all networking.
