One pattern I keep seeing. Organizations become slower as they become more politically careful. Too many decisions start optimizing for internal comfort instead of external relevance.

My whole sleep schedule is fucked up thanks to my husband the teacher, who can sleep in and “give out assignments” for like an hour

What is the difference between an associate and an assistant?

Hey all, I am seeing almost all of the major auto insurance companies are currently hiring for adjuster positions. I’m always curious what it’s like at other companies. Who do you work for? How long have you been there? Are you working remote? What do you like about your company? Dislike?

I’m with Mercury. 15+ years. We are working remotely. I enjoy the people I work with and I’m paid well. I dislike the current volume of workload

Anyone from Amazon India Finance division? Looking for an employee referral.

What is the best way to make sure your resume gets seen/gets into the right hands? I've been applying for remote positions and not been hearing anything back. I feel like because so many people are applying for these jobs, it's hard to make sure my resume gets into the right hands and gets seen. Anyone have any advice?

What does the BCG Project Leader interview process look like for an experienced hire consulting lateral in the US?

I’m planning to have rolling flex tickets between two destinations. I want to decide dates on very short notice (<24hr).

Are there options like this ? And how do I avail them ?

My ECD keeps changing our work before it goes to client and it's cost us making good work. Our books are suffering because he can't get his hands off the tools. Our books are only full of spec now.

Is Saturday working for ICICI Software Dev team?

What’s your work-life balance like? I feel like I’m constantly working after hours, always balancing multiple projects, hardly ever going through a phase where there isn’t a ton of critical initiatives going on. It definitely wasn’t like this when I was a more junior PMM, but as a Senior PMM, my work-life balance has severely decreased. Is this just the nature of Product Marketing? Or can I actually find a senior PMM role that allows a bit more room to breathe?

UXers - what app/tool has helped you recently to align more closely with users in a now dominant remote setting where client engagement is mostly online?

I'll kick things off with inVision Freehands - super intuitive UI to allow real-time, collaborative UX workshops. Worked wonders for us over the last 2 years during lockdowns.

Hi guys, situation at work looks bleak starting from this quarter onwards.
Need likes to start messaging. Pls support.

I used to have a ton of good startup ideas in university, but now at 26 I can't seem to come up with unique ones that I want to act on.

I don't know what changed but how do I get that creative flow again? What gives you startup ideas?

What’s a profound way to start a business? The desire to make social and economic impact? Or personal wealth? What should be the main driving factor? I’m curious what your guys’ thoughts and opinions are on this. Feel free to drop a comment :)

Does anyone have any advice on requesting data from municipalities (beyond just a foia request)? Working on a startup idea related to infrastructure but will need to get municipalities to give me extracts from their land use databases.

I recently moved to US from Georgia, I have team of developers and project manager in Georgia who are able to work remotely. Big advantage of this type of team is salary per hour because its quite low in Georgia rather than US. Because Im new here I dont have connections with businesses in this field, where can I find cofounders like this who will be interested in software development and finding clients for this team?

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.

Hi guys, a plea for help here 🙏🏻 have any founders here gotten an O-1 visa or an H1B transfer into their startup? Would greatly appreciate hearing your advice / experience over DM

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 😊

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.

I have a business idea in the VR/AR space utilizing AI. However, I lack skill sets to evaluate viability or to create an MVP. Neither do I have a network to tap into.

My plan is taking classes to deepen my knowledge while joining and actively participating in communities to find collaborators.

Does this approach make sense or do you recommend other approaches? If it makes sense, do you have any recommendations for classes or communities?

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!

Recommendations on the best podcast, book, or other medium to learn more about “entrepreneurship through acquisition”?

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?

New to startup ecosystem. What are some resources, books, podcasts that help you along the way? Are there any communities you interact with regularly on Reddit/discord/meetup?

Who do you back with and how are they rewarding you?

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

Anyone here into buying distressed commercial debt from banks and collecting on it or selling the assets?

Let's vote! Which startup type is most likely to have a dysfunctional or toxic work culture:

Helpful: Single founder bootstrapped startups
Smart: Single founder funded startups
Uplifting: Multiple founder bootstrapped startups
Funny: This poll is dumb.

Comment if you would have selected multiple founder funded startups!

I have the opportunity to work at a fintech startup (less than 200 employees) or I can work at a pretty esteemed consulting firm. I do plan on going to B-school eventually. Anyone who can give me advice for deciding where to work?

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 !!
