Last startup I joined died. A tip - when a founder tells you they raised money, make sure they have actually "received" the money and that the fund they raised from hasn't gone insolvent :)
Luckily an ex colleague referred me and it has been an amazing journey at LinkedIn. BTW We are hiring!
- ap3 8y agoMsg me, I’m looking!
- flashgordon 8y agoCool. Just emailed you.
- josephd 8y agoHey Flash. Just saw your messages to this and was curious to know if you also hire remote. Really interested. Email is at my profile. Thanks!
- josephd 8y agoJust update my profile with the email info. Thanks!
- flashgordon 8y agoHey mate Li doesnt "officially" hire remotely. There have been very rare cases where existing folks left to go work remotely, but hiring this way has been very rare. I am happy to chat offline to see if there is anything we (our recruiters) can do?
- xaranke 8y agoCurious to know what are you hiring for?
- flashgordon 8y agoHey mate. We are hiring for several teams around different parts of the Li stack. Our teams are (loosely) broken around infra, apps/product, tooling and UI on the engineering side. There are other ways to slice this categorisation too. What areas would you be interested in? Happy to chat offline.
- xaranke 8y agoMostly interested in infra, specially data infra. My email is in my bio, would love to chat more over email.
- jesse_ 8y agoI applied for the REACH apprenticeship and my application is being reviewed. Thinking I'll hear back sometime this week on whether I'll get an onsite interview. Just wondering if you knew about this program and if it was something that current LinkedIn team members can refer/recommend people for? If so feel free to message me but otherwise no worries!
- muzani 8y agoHaha, one startup I joined died for this reason too. The main investor had second thoughts and decided not to invest when they agreed to earlier.
- arenaninja 8y agoIf you're available to chat I'd love to ask you some questions about positions at LinkedIn
- flashgordon 8y agoDefinitely mate. Do DM me.
- gradyj 8y agoHey, I'm actually looking for a new grad/entry level role currently. Do you know if you guys are looking for those types of roles at the moment?
- flashgordon 8y agoHey mate. Depends on the track. For apps this is usually harder but for non apps tracks (eg mobile, infra, tools) the chances are higher.
- gradyj 8y agoAh I gotcha. My email is on my profile, I'd love to chat quickly if you have some time this week.
