[ale] [OT] Opinions on value of ACM, IEEE membership?

[leam hall via Ale]

Besides a resume bullet? :)

I'm still working as a sysadmin, still trying to move into programming
more. Not sure if the ACM or IEEE provides anything that would help.

No one would likely hire me because my resume said "ACM member", but
maybe it's like Toastmasters. What I learned there has helped me
interview well.

It will not get you a job but it can expose you to others. Shoulder
rubbing is usually a good thing. Most jobs are found/settled with a
personal contact over a blind call/application.
Plus it's exposure to more information in your field.
