Hiring Update #2
Hello! Welcome to the second edition of the Hiring Update! Here are some fun stats from the first one- we hit 1300 subscribers (yay!) and the open rate for emails hovered around 65% (which is wild to me, because the average open rate in India is around 20%!). I know the sentiment around us is a little dreary, with doom and gloom about an imminent slowdown filtering down to all of us- but please remember that a funding winter is not a building one. People are still building, creating, operating, and (most importantly!) hiring across the board because that’s just how things work and happen. The world continues to spin, and I’ll keep bringing you interesting opportunities as it does. As usual, a reminder- every fortnight, you will have a short list of start-ups and roles landing in your inbox. I cannot take any personal guarantee of what these roles will lead to, of course, so please consider me merely a conduit!
If you find these updates useful, consider buying me a coffee (since I need a fair amount to keep up with this!)
