[Newsletter] How to Land a Role That Serves Your Long-Term Goals

Hi there,

We tend to think in straight lines—growth or decline, success or failure. But work, markets, trends, and even motivation rarely move that way. They move in cycles.

Before making big decisions, it’s worth remembering that what feels permanent today may simply be a phase.

This issue explores exactly that: guidelines to consider before accepting a job in the rocketship, advice on landing a role in a startup, the evolving expectations of new generations—and yes, a story about a scam that reminds us not every opportunity is what it seems.

Enjoy today’s reads.
