Hiring Update #9

Hello! I come bearing good and bad news. The bad first- things are pretty rough out there, folks. Far too many people I know have been laid off and opportunities are hard to find. I did not send out updates because there were genuinely no roles I could scout or get a personal connection for- sorry for letting you down. This is the truth and I won’t beat around the bush about it. Here’s the good news, though- I’ve got your back (again)! Managed to get a bunch of great roles this time around and I really hope this helps you all.

As usual, a reminder- every once in a while, 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!)
