Does the declining jobs market make anyone think twice about starting a company in this climate?

Any advice on how to create a killer competitor comparison? I need to compare healthcare staffing companies—market growth, messaging, etc.?

Hello Fishes,

Trust, you all have been doing well.

I have gone through many success stories.

Would like to take a step and would like to share my profile for Scrum Master / agile coach profile.

Kindly extend you assistance by commenting or sharing your email ID so that I can share my profile.

I love to work directly with business owners.

Keeping my fingers crossed until magic happens.

Regards
Abhishek Malhotra

I currently work for a manufacturing company and worked my way from an entry level customer service role to a high visibility operation leadership role in 5 years. I currently handle the master schedule, forecast and SIOP process and want to expand on that… I have done all of this with only my GED… I want to grow more and I do not have the right people in my life that can direct me to the right degree. I truly found something I love to do but need the degree to open more doors. Help!

Got the degrees and have previous experience working in Analytics, cant seem to catch a break at EY. Anyone wants to refer me for analytics roles?

Who is a bigger disgrace - Nixon or Trump or someone else?

I decided last week to actively look to leave not only my job but my industry, and felt really good and positive about it. Today I've woken up feeling daunted and unsure about it.

Ive sat with it for a while and I think it's because - and some of you can rightfully get your tiny violins out here - I haven't actively applied for jobs since I was a grad. Every job I have had has come from connections or referrals, but now I'm actively putting myself out there, I feel vulnerable.

Is restructuring actually that hard to break into?

Partnership deal - is this a good deal?
I’m working on building a start-up. This requires an app and a website. A friend of mine has a web development company who can do the job for me very well and efficiently. He really likes my project and offered a partnership: i pay him $30k and he gets 20% equity.
He also gave me the option to be ‘treated as a client’ and deliver my project at a normal rate (about $80K), should I not want to partner.

Can anyone recommend good books or articles on startup org charts and hiring? Think we’ve hit early signs of product/market fit, but not sure who to hire next, in what order, and how the org should evolve over next few years.

What do people recommend for start-up relevant marketing resources/books/personalities/podcasts?

Considering an exit to a startup that just completed a solid series B. They’re willing to provide competitive comp package and surprised how large the base is for a startup. Has me concerned about being on the high end and being the first person that comes to mind when it’s time to pinch a few pennies or clean up the books ahead of future rounds/IPO. Valid concern or am I overthinking it?

Hi all, I am looking to get some recommendations on acquiring funding (pre-seed and seed level) We have a solid product and platform for users (ecommerce marketplace) but we now need more funding for advertising/marketing. Interested to hear how others have acquired funding in the past. Thanks!

Was wondering if anyone here could share thoughts on the topic of third party marketing. Specifically, looking to gauge any appetite for offering coupons/incentives to potential customers through a third party. The third party would distribute these incentives on an action-gated basis to users of a mobile app. Does this model look familiar to anyone? Anyone on the marketing/incentive issuer side see a formulation that would be attractive?

My boss just gave their notice (3rd boss in 2 months) and told me to get a new job based on “mud within the executive level” of the organization (~5 years, 2 rebrands, etc). I’ve been there for 18 months. Looking at the recession expected to hit Canada in early 2023, I feel stuck; hiring is slow everywhere but jumping ship now means I’ll be the “last in the door” at most places. How would you navigate this? The decision will be made either way, but ideally I could move into something better.
