The Fire Circle Walk

A day for tech professionals in transition.

A half day walking event for technology professionals navigating a career transition. Take the day for yourself to meet other like-minded individuals going through the same thing. A chance to connect, side by side, in nature. A more natural way to “network”.

A campfire in open landscape — the gathering spirit of the Fire Circle Walk

About the Walk

Walking side by side changes the conversation.

There's something about moving through open space together that unlocks a different kind of honesty. Side by side, you're not performing - you're thinking out loud. The Fire Circle Walk creates those conditions deliberately: led conversations at natural stopping points, space to be heard, and a format that's as far from a networking event as you can get.

People walking together — the community format of the Fire Circle Walk

These walks are for technology professionals who are actively looking for their next role. Groups are intentionally small. The only thing we ask for is a £5 donation, which goes to our charity partner Talk Club. This is sent out once a place is confirmed.

What to Expect

What will the day look like?

Every session is slightly different, but here's what it could look like. Times shift with the group and the weather; what stays is the shape of the day.

  1. 10:00

    Meet

    Coffee in hand, gentle introductions at the start point.

  2. 10:30

    Walk

    First leg in pairs — set the tone, find your stride.

  3. 12:00

    Fireside

    A shared stop. Reflection, conversation, no agenda.

  4. 13:00

    Walk

    Second leg, group walk. Different conversations, deeper ones.

  5. 14:00

    Close

    Together at the end — no awkward goodbyes, just open invitations.

From the Walks

What past walkers have said

It’s true what they say about walking and talking. It helps to unpack thoughts and worries, generate ideas and pass on valuable advice — a great platform for knowing you are not alone in the world of job hunting.

Product Manager

London walk

An opportunity to connect with others looking for their next opportunity, in a different way, outdoors. Brilliant to meet some great people, share experiences and talk in an open and unhurried way.

Head of Business Analysis

London walk

A rewarding half day engaging with other people who are between roles. Lots of fresh air, thought-provoking topics, honest conversations, and new connections made. I’d recommend this to other job seekers.
