Is there a risk of accepting a role with Upstart currently? I seen a 7% layoff recently for hourly employees but I would be salaried. I am well aware it’s a risk in tech overall right now but curious on thoughts thanks!

There is always risk, but if you bet on yourself even if it doesn’t work out you will learn and grow.

The risk is always there especially in Tech right now
I think you should go for it

I don’t know anything specific about Upstart, but if it’s a role supporting customers, see if you can find anything they have stated publicly about their recent growth. If they are growing, client facing roles rarely get cut.

Also, I think orgs have used the interest rates and mid term election as a way to reduce costs or lower performing functions. Doesn’t mean the company is doing poorly, could be more proactive.

Hi All - I’m at a firm that has some infrequent in-house training but not enough to help me develop skills to eventually become a trial lawyer. I know cases rarely make it to trial anymore, but I’d like to develop my skills as much as possible to position myself well when they do. Does anyone have any mock trial programs they’ve participated in outside of their firms that they would recommend?

Hi all. I have a referral question. Long story short, I waited too long to apply for a SA role.

I do have a friend who can refer me but does she have to wait for another posting to come up before she refers me? Or can she do it with an existing posting and I’ll get an internal link that isn’t attached to a specific posting? Did I lose my chance?
