I have been finding people on LinkedIn that are working in the same field as I am. However,​ I had found it difficult to engage them on topics about work. How can I bridge this gap?

1. Just do it

There is no other way than just doing it. Don’t overthink it.

2. Go for meetups

You can use the Meetup app to look for meetups organised by people in your industry or related career

I think it would be better to join networking events if you want to connect with people in the same field.

Try to go for conferences and say hello to people during coffee breaks or after conf drinks and follow up from there.

There are also open communities that you can look for fellowships

Another way would be to ask your colleagues to introduce you to people in the same field
