I avoid asking people where they work or what they do for as long as possible, and instead try to focus on interests and hobbies.
I've heard too many conversations in S.F. that follow a kind of judgement ritual. If you work for a startup in a popular field (e.g. A.I.), or a major tech company, then you pass. Anything else and the conversation just stalls.
