I saw a post the other day about books to read to be inspired by entrepreneurs. I'm not a reader really... what biographical shows/movies (even reality like Shark Tank) are around for people who want to build an entrepreneur mindset? Might as well create a list over the weekend.

My brother recently graduated high school and wants to work for a year or two before he starts his undergrad. What sort of jobs should he be looking for that could help his resume in the future? He eventually wants to pursue engineering

Is reaching out on Linkedin the best way to contact a recruiter, or should I look for their professional email?

Is it worth pursuing a management position coming from being an engineer? What is your opinion on trying to go this route?

People act all embarrassed when they tell me they don't know what "engineering" means and I just tell them it's based off the word "engine," and we study how systems (like engines) work. That usually explains it

What are the advantages/disadvantages to being partnered with someone more senior? I’m mid-level, busting my ass to go senior. My partner is senior, busting their ass to get to ACD. (Cont’d)

How’s everyone holding up?

Ummm serious question

How many clients/brands should an agency copywriter be working on each week? I'm working on 5-6 per week. Everything from scripts, to rationales, to viewbooks and websites tbh.

I feel like lm working on 10-11 clients a month. Is this normal?

What are people's deciding factors between working for a Reseller vs Vendor?

Anyone have insider info on what adam&eveDDB, Mother London, and Uncommon look for in planners? Are they looking for awards? Thought leadership? Looking to make a move and want to take a shot at those 3!

I’ve been in sales for nearly 3 years doing alright and all of a sudden I have developed an anxiety towards sales that has made my job unbearable in the last few months.
I haven’t made any major mistakes that triggered this, I just gradually developed so much self doubt.

Like I spend way too long overthinking my phrasing in communication lately…

Has anyone else experienced this?
Any advice on how to get through this?

DM me for referral to Mitre. Great pay and benefits and really smart coworkers. Engineering background preferred

Any good office chair recommendations for ~$100-150?

Any book recommendations for philosophy, psychology, and business? Or any book you read last year changed your values? Going to fly international, gonna read it on flight. 😍

Etron or model Y? I like Tesla more, but tax incentives are gone :(

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

We are looking to rent a 1BR starting in January, ideally for ~$3k/month. I’ll be working in the downtown area.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!

What types of questions do you like to ask candidates during your first initial conversation with them?

Hi folks, I am working with a few friends on a fintech idea. I opted to build the marketing roadmapping strategy for the soft launch/prototype phase as I want to learn about the field. Any guidance where should I start? Any guidance, books, topics will be helpful 😊

I need guidance - was able to sell work through relationship. All I have is my LLC and a bank account. No infrastructure, no HR set up, no legal document. Who should I reach out to get help?

How do vesting schedules typically work for LLCs giving interest to an advisor?

Hello, Can anyone share the real world process of sales pipeline in the IT company and process of acquiring new customer?

So, I just joined a startup. No processes, no clear strategy, just one goal: selling. Getting leads. When ever I try to build a strategy, they (founders) swamp me with blablabla stories and not a single action plan. Is this the usual at startups? Also,no real company culture. At all. No HR. I am reaaaally struggling to get a sense of belonging here. What should I expect?? Tia

Really confused as to whether to incorporate my NY- based makeup startup as an LLC or an S-corp? Not based in NYC if that matters and no revenue yet. Should I be looking into Delaware at all (specifically a Delaware C-Corp) if I do plan on raising capital at some point down the line? Also - for any FDA lawyers out there, what is the problem with developing makeup (specifically foundations) with SPF? I've heard it's "heavily regulated." What do I need to be aware of? Thanks in advance !!

What are your thoughts on joining a startup that pushes for no structure in their company? Supposedly they thrive from what he told me but I’m not convinced. Is this really a thing?

Hey, I am looking for an Angel investor to invest in our idea. Can someone help me to connect with the person.

Been wanting to start a Consultancy that offers employment help to individuals. Any ideas on the success rate or how to start networking to have actual clients coming to me? What are the pros and cons?

I firmly believe leadership makes the difference.

Not only, it highlins each one's value, but especially spreads this value among others.
I'm speaking about life, in a broad sense, which also include work life, but it is not limited to that.

Looking for any kind of suggestion to improve my leadership: books, experiences, attitudes, daily-routine, ...

Thank you!

I’ve been at BCG in the west coast for 3 years out of undergrad. I am looking to join a Series B/C start-up in some strategy/operations role. Any rough estimates for what I can expect for comp (knowing it’s variable)? TYIA

Looking to start an app project and need a full stack developer who wants to also mentor a junior developer along the way. Any advice on where to look besides LinkedIn? Also, not looking for freelance, want the developer to be apart of the team as a business partner and leader.

This could be an interesting opportunity. I’m a youth soccer coach and have become very popular in our area. So much so that a local magazine is going to publish an article on me next month. With a marketable look, is there any pathway for me to utilize this opportunity for lucrative marketing deals? Open to thoughts and ideas.

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

Any good recommended books on how to build a scalable product and team? I'm looking for recommendations for two areas: 1) in general laying the groundwork in a startup to have the tools and especially processes in place to scale, and 2) tactical focus on building a SaaS project. I've been promoted into a management role from Dev roots, so need to learn more PM processes to be an effective manager in day job, plus would like to start building my own SaaS solution.

Apologies in advance for the rambling post. Maybe more of a confession but feels better to post here. There are a few people in my life (either family or acquaintances) that have become beyond successful. I strive to follow in their footsteps but have no clue how to do so. I am “successful” as an attorney and am doing my MBA, but have long wanted to start my own business and have no idea what that would be. I noticed two of the people I referenced above have become successful due to their…contd

Side hustle or startup ideas for someone who isn’t technical/doesn’t code? Where should I look or where to begin? I don’t have any strong passions or specific skills that I’m confident in. What books, articles, blogs, orgs, events, people I should follow for inspiration that has helped you? I have some cash to invest and am looking for a part time hustle that can cash flow at least a little bit of money on the side.

So...I started my own company in 2018. Things went off like a ROCKET. Its a small Remodeling company and we specialize in higher end bathrooms and kitchens etc. I love working with my hands. I also have my education though and...I am going to return to tech work. I just wonder..when is enough enough? When do you pull the plug?
