Hi, all. Wanted to check in, here: the job market seems really tight, right now, and I've been planning on opening a consultancy for a while, now. As luck would have it, I was contacted by a potential lead at about the same time. Are things equally bleak on the entrepreneurship side, or is there a little bit of light? What are others' experiences, and what can I expect? (I realize I haven't said what KIND of consulting).

Not so bad from where I'm sitting. Bit of a slower start to the year, but we're still making headway and should make up that lost ground over the next few months. Good luck on the consultancy - sounds like serendipitous timing for you with the potential lead reaching out!

Sounds like better news than the employment market, but, you know: sample size of one. Hoping things pick up for you! I'm wondering if, with all the noise in hiring, people aren't going to shift toward 3rd party consultants...

The position is remote & I’d like $20/hr. I’ve invested in myself as a coach & plan to complete board certification by early 2023

Hi everyone, I work at an early stage start up that just closed our round A. I just hired a director below me, however when it was time to come up with an offer I was removed from the conversation. The CO-founders said they’d handle the actual offer amount/equity. I joined early so salary is low but I have decent equity. Not sure if they didn’t want me seeing the offer or if this is normal for early start ups.

I was also given a dollar range that I can “imagine” the share price would be (I think they were trying to help me do the math without it giving away too much)?
