Checking in on the top 5 things happening in startup jobs right now: hiring, layoffs,  and compensation. All data from US startups - check out the full podcast episode link in the comments for more charts and commentary. 1) Startups did not start hiring again in Q1 Startup hiring fell about 50% from 2022 to 2023 and Q1 2024 didn't show much improvement. Each new headcount is being actively scrutinized from pre-seed to Series D. 2) Startup layoffs hit the least-tenure employees Layoffs disproportionately affected the employees who had joined most recently (last in, first out). This is likely weighing on some startup workers as they stay at their current companies rather than jump to a new co. 3) Salaries are just flat Q1 saw average salary budge very little from Q4...and indeed, still effectively flat from Q4 2022. Inflation eats into the purchasing power but the salary dollars have not kept pace 4) Equity comp fell by over 33% (although popped back slightly in Q1) The downturn in employment and general startup fundraising didn't touch salaries much but it did majorly impact equity comp. The average equity package is down 36% from Q4 2022. Equity did rise a bit to start the year which is a silver lining. 5) Remote work is...all over the place Almost all startups pay employees based on where they are located, rather than simply the role and job level. There was a slight shift back towards hiring in-state (our closest proxy to remote) but it was large. The RTO vs remote debate rages on with no clear winners.

For anyone who wants to get a job in venture capital. There are three core pillars to venture: 1. Sourcing (finding great companies). 2. Selecting (picking great companies). 3. Servicing (helping companies be the best they can be). If you cannot do at least one in a way that very few others can, it will be tough. Focus on one, build a competitive advantage and make sure that you have tangible proof of it that you can take with you to interviews and prospective roles. For Example: Host a healthcare tech event for all aspiring healthcare founders in your city. Do it for 2 years, start a newsletter with it, you will build an insane network no one else has in that niche. You can then take that as immensely differentiated value to a prospective role. Massive game changer. Passion is table stakes, you have to think strategically about how you move the needle in at least one of the core pillars. #founder #funding #business #investing #vc #venturecapital #entrepreneur #startup

𝗧𝗲𝘀𝗹𝗮’𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹: 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 as More Tesla employees laid off. Tesla recently laid of 14,000+ people. But the way this is being handled has shocked many. Check this email that was shared by a laid off Tesla employee. "I am reaching out to let you know that after a careful review of your permanent work restrictions and your role, it was determined that there was no reasonable accommodation that would enable you to perform the essential functions of your position in your role. The next step in the interactive process is the Alternative Job Search (AJS process), which consists of reviewing Tesla’s internal and external job board to identify potential positions. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱. Given recent changes in the business, we also do not currently anticipate any such openings in the near term. As such, we are advising that we intend to conclude the AJS process at this time. 𝗔𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝗹𝗮, 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟯𝗿𝗱, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰." Even AI chatbots aren’t this heartless. And this is not the end. I understand that people are mad. Angry. Frustrated BUT Behind all of this anger and frustration, there's an opportunity. Opportunity to prepare. When profits decline (or are non-existent) Then firing people is usually the imminent decision coming. From being a valuable cog of the "family," suddenly you are unwanted. It sucks. BIG Time. No matter how comfortable you feel, no matter how close you are to your boss, no matter how much they told you that they love you. In the end? You're a number on a spreadsheet. And it's math, after all. I've been there. So, is it fair? Maybe not. But is it true? 100% And the earlier you realize this in your career, the better off you will be. So start preparing. If you're fortunate enough to have a job, start building out your personal brand, share your thoughts and learnings, and engage with other talented people. Create small side hustles. Work on weekends to establish it. Make yourself harder to forget. Go create something - attention, content, software, blogs, audio, video, projects, books, etc. Become synonymous with something that can generate a little income should you need it. Anything. Start making some noise out there! Stand out. Be different. And when you get a job again, please don't stop. Always have a plan B, C, and D. Always be prepared. - #layoffs #teslalayoffs #elonmusk #tesla #layoff2024 #techlayoff #employee  

Many of us have been victims of this without even knowing it. It stems from a deep-rooted "scarcity mindset" and it's called #Lowballing #Lowballing typically refers to the practice of deliberately making a low price offer for something, with the intention of negotiating a better deal later vs advertised Example : Candidate appears for a VP role as advertised. Candidate is told they are "liked immensely" and an offer will be made. When, the offer is made, its for an AVP at 30% lower vs stated compensation range because of a variety of reasons that leave one foxed as to what " liked immensely" meant, in the first place. Candidate refuses. A revised offer is made 2 months later ( obviously nothing else has worked out for the employer) now at 15% lower testing whether the candidate will take it up, while accepting the lower designation. In VC firms, replace VP with Partner and AVP with Principal My advice - Refuse outright or be ready to be treated like a "low value" product forever #Lowballing someone, esp at senior levels, is a clear sign of underlying values of dishonesty, deceit and opportunism. Strong words but think about it. Isn't it a sign of : ✳️ Short-term vs Long term - Minor savings vs long term reputation ✳️Transactional mindset - closing deals vs long fruitful partnerships ✳️Desperation - Struggling to attract and hence the revised offer ? ✳️Stand to lose something else - Need to fill the role to get something ✳️ Deceptive agreements enroute - full of trap doors and claw backs ✳️ Life is win-lose not win-win According to Forbes, people ( employers) who suffer from a "scarcity mindset" view life as a zero-sum game ie come and work for me at the lowest price and I will keep most of it ( win-lose) vs a "growth mindset" ie both of us can come together and create something bigger. Such workplaces are toxic at best on #culture where the good ones feel trapped and have one foot out of the door all the time. Some get lucky and receive out-of-turn promotions not knowing they are being retained until the "situation gets better". The situation in these firms "never gets better" before it gets worse Instead, have confidence in your abilities, read the articles in the comments, wait for a win-win situation. A few months lost is nothing for what you'll need to deal with had you signed up for #lowballing....yes, you will be #lowballed forever. #culturematters #lowballingiswinlosemindset #venturecapital #fairness

Are you facing a career gap and wondering how to craft a resume with it? Taking a gap year can be a great opportunity to explore new interests, gain new skills, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your career goals. However, it can also create challenges when it comes to building your resume and finding a job after your gap year. Here are some strategies to help you build a strong resume that showcases your skills and experience from your gap year: [1] Highlight your achievements: - When listing your experiences from your gap year on your resume, focus on your achievements and the skills you developed. - For example, if you volunteered at a non-profit organization, highlight any fundraising or organizational accomplishments, or if you traveled, focus on any cross-cultural communication or problem-solving skills you developed. [2] Emphasize transferable skills: - Even if the experiences from your gap year don't directly relate to your career goals, they may have helped you develop transferable skills that are valuable in many industries. - For example, if you learned a new language, emphasize your communication and adaptability skills, or if you worked on a farm, emphasize your physical stamina and problem-solving skills. [3] Use action verbs: - When describing your experiences on your resume, use action verbs to show what you accomplished. This can help make your resume more dynamic and engaging. - For example, use verbs like "managed," "led," "organized," "created," or "developed" to showcase your accomplishments. [4] Be honest and clear: - Be honest and clear about the experiences you had during your gap year. - If you took time off to travel, don't try to spin it as a work experience. Instead, be upfront about what you did and the skills you developed. - Employers value honesty and transparency and being clear about your experiences can help them better understand your unique qualifications. Building a strong resume after a gap year requires a strategic approach that focuses on highlighting your achievements, emphasizing transferable skills, using action verbs, and being honest and clear about your experiences. Follow these strategies to create a resume that showcases your unique strengths and helps you stand out to potential employers. Follow Priyank Ahuja for more!

Software Developer salaries have crazy variations around the world. One thing is crystal clear, though: - Regardless of where you live, working remotely for a US company will increase your salary. See Pakistan at the end of the list, the highest salary reported there is ~$16k/year. So, if the highest paid Software Developer in Pakistan lands a remote US job earning a "low" US salary of $110k/year, that means an almost 7x salary increase. Mind blowing stuff! The specific math is different for each country, but the rationale is the same. Take a look into Germany or France, two prominent economies in the EU, with highest SWE salaries of $90k and $70k/year. SWEs there can still gain a 50% salary bump by working remote to the US. Nice! Living in Portugal, my salary used to be below those $30k reported as the lower end in this 2023 survey. Landing a remote jobs with a US company made my salary 5x back in 2016. To this day I'm still enjoying the Salary Arbitrage of earning a USD salary while living in the EU. I wrote in depth about Software Developer salaries and how to leverage Salary Arbitrage in Remote Work. Read is all in last week's edition of my Newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dC2_zpy7
