I recently left public accounting to join a start up. I don’t have too many connections in this world yet, does anyone have recommendations for either articles, books or other sources of information I could use to get an understanding of the startup world and how I can make the right career choices moving forward. - *I’m on the product manager side*

Thanks in advance!

Hello, in need for some guidance/mentoring as I plan the next phase of my career. I have been in data analytics field (have a masters as well) for 7 years now and thinking of pivoting towards tech product management. Anyone here who has been on similar path? Any advice on how to start the PM career (any book or course suggestions?) or how can I make use of my experience in data field?

Hi 👋 Any good UX books for senior designer level that helps with strategy, and good frameworks, or anything that will help me with my thought process? I have the basic books like don’t make me think, and 100 things. I’ll be joining a startup soon as chief designer, and will be back to being a full stack designer — I’ve been an IC for the past few years, so I definitely need to improve on strategies and maybe frameworks when it comes to UX. Will appreciate any suggestions. Thanks! 🙏🏻

I’m an associate attorney at a mid-size family law practice. (5 attorneys, 3 support staff). I’ve been here for 3 years and just asked for a raise to $130k from $90k. My annual billable target is 1400. However, since I’ve been here I’ve barely broken 1000 despite working my ass off. I bill out at $375. They told me no more raises unless I start taking my own cases. Now they just hired a new associate and are paying him $170k and he takes his own cases. Am I being unreasonable asking for $130k?

I'm looking for a technical cofounder in the Bay Area.

I'm working on a new startup, and I think I've got something really good. The tech itself is nothing new (no blockchain, AI, fancy algorithm, etc.) The vision requires only tried and tested tech (read full-stack engineer).

I know business (ops/marketing/sales/fundraising/etc), and pretend to know tech... I'm looking for someone who can actually execute on that side.

I can offer equity and nominal pay if necessary. Ping me if interested!
