Dear community members,

Over the last week, over 50,000 people were laid-off across the tech industry. Propelled by economic sentiments, technological changes and ambiguity around future growth, companies made the hard choice of letting go of some of the best professional globally with less than a days’ notice.

This experience of large-scale lay-offs and strategy pivots in big-tech, prompted us to think about the future of work -

  1. Would people now seek more secure and stable jobs over professional satisfying and rewarding jobs?

  2. Which sector/industry will people who have been laid-off find work?

  3. What can people who still have their jobs do to prevent such a scenario from themselves in the future?

💌 Breaking to VC with WaterBridge Investor Shivi Maheshwari - Seeing our community members build their category of one is our ultimate idea of happiness. Shivi is our long time member who attended the first time fund manager fellowship for women while she was pursuing her MBA at Kellogg. She had no prior investing experience so she armed herself with project work, cohort based courses offered by Network Capital and a series of internships.

💌 The ethics of #MetaTwitterStripe Layoffs - Should trillion dollar companies let go of employees to make Wall Street happy? It boils down to asking why companies are formed. Is it to maximize shareholder value or is it for a broader societal purpose? We think the answer lies in balancing both.

Have a wonderful week ahead. — Your Network Capital Team
