Reddits Alexis Ohanian wants to be your mentor

Reddits Alexis Ohanian wants to be your mentorReddits Alexis Ohanian wants to be your mentorAlexis Ohanians name may be synonymous with Reddit, but lately, hes been creating some new notable partnerships. Ohanian is also half of the power couple formed with wife, tennis legend Serena Williams. The self-avowed hardcore coffee drinker also recently partnered with 1850 Coffee a heritage brand launched by Folgers. Theres also Initialized Capital, the San Francisco-based early-stage venture capital firm Ohanian co-founded. So how does Ohanian choose his partnerships and find ways to make them flourish?Ladders caught up with Ohanian who shared tips on creating smart partnerships, finding your values and carving out a spectacular career whether or not youre a millennial.Check the boxesWhen asked how he chooses partnerships, Ohanian said This is going to sound super corporate, but I think about what my values are as a person. It has to fit into this rubric. I think to myself are these part nerships checking all these boxes? If they are, its a partnership I can look into.Dont compromise on your reputationOhanian admitted one of his least surprising goals is making the world suck less. He admits that Its not quite as aspirational as making the world a better place, but the same idea stands. For that reason, when choosing partners, Ohanian believes This is a partnership that does some good. And it has to be done in a way that doesnt compromise the reputation Ive built for myself.Coming together for the greater goodOhanian doesnt share the zero-sum philosophy, in which people believe the successes of one person means the loss of someone elses opportunities. If you believe in a zero-sum world, you believe if you do well then someone else cant. I dont believe in that. Instead, Ohanian says I believe in all my partnerships creating something good for something else.Be worth investing inIn his guise as an angel investor, Ohanian says I definitely didnt aspire to be a VC. I do nt think anyone should (he chuckles). All the folks weve hired have been operators. Ohanian explains operators as people who have been there. People who know how to Sling code. Or theyve done financial models or built marketing plans. He believes these are people who understand not just their companies, but the difficulties of creating and sustaining a new business.His startup mentality keeps Ohanian happy and engaged. The reason Im excited to wake up every day as a VC is because its a startup. It also allows him to have mora interesting downtime. I keep thinking about the interesting conversations I have at home over dinner. I talk about the amazing founders that I meet. I love talking about all the startups. The 3 years I was working on the Reddit turnaround we went from 50 to 400 employees. Coming home from that was exhausting. Those arent fun stories to have at the dinner table. I relish the fact that I get to work on things that are fun now. And I want us to do it for dozens an d dozens more (companies).Learn from your failuresOhanian says So much of what we do for early-stage companies is help founders avoid the landmines, which he immediately recognizes because weve seen them over and over again. And thats a big part of our job. He also guides startups by providing their first 10 customers through our network or helping them close a first hire. He describes these as The things we can do because of our reputation. We get to make these investments in such an early stage that were doing a lot for the company. Its a high leverage time to be investing in the company.Aint nothing but a numberOhanian wants to disabuse people of the notion that new hires or new businesses favor millennials. Were not bias to a certain age. In popular culture, we have the idea of the millennial founder. Some of our founders are on our second or third career.Ohanian references a freight forwarding software company called Flexport which updates an international industry thats been h istorically managed through phone calls and a spreadsheet. Ohanian says Theyre building something demonstrably cheaper, faster. There are few college grads obsessing about freight or old-fashioned businesses. They want to build the next Snap.Thats why Flexport is so successful. There are very few people clamoring to build software for that.Work with OhanianReady to turn your side hustle into the next big thing? nows your chance. Ohanian and 1850 just launched their co-branded Bold Pioneer contest in which the winner receives $18,500 in funding and one-on-one mentoring from Ohanian.

Worst Bosses in Human History

Worst Bosses in Human History Worst Bosses in Human History So you think you have the worst boss ever? Well, think again. After this article, you will be thankful for what you have. Or you will sue your boss. Gordon Ramsay He is one of the toughest chefs you will ever see. He uses insults, threats and anger to make everything look, feel and taste better. If you are visitor of a restaurant under Ramsays command, you probably wont be disappointed. Maybe its tears of his assistants that make the food taste outstanding. Jackie Brucia Absolute queen of scumbagness. Jackies life was in danger because of her medical condition. She needed a new kidney, but her donors were all lined up. Her warm-hearted employee Debbie Stevens decided to donate her own kidney to help her boss. Guess what happened afterwards? Jackie punished her donor  because it was taking too long to recover from the surgery. After she moved her to another office in a bad neighborhood, she simply fired her. Richard Mad Dog Beckman This guy simply wanted to see two women kiss. This famous publisher decided to force Carol Matthews and Vogues international fashion director Emily Jahncke Davis to have a kiss. He smashed their heads so hard, he caused them serious injuries. Carol Mathews sued Mad Dog and after receiving fat paycheck, she left the company. Scott Rudin Famous film producer mostly known for The Queen, The Firm and No Country For Old Men. Creative people dealing with arts are often hot-tempered. Scott Rudin is double as temperament as anyone else. Its claimed, that he has had more than 250 assistants. He was firing them for little things such as bringing bad muffin, or not exactly the right kind of coffee. Naomi Campbell Nice example of people looking like angels, but actually not being that beautiful inside. Naomi has assaulted several assistants throughout her career. Her thing is throwing phones at them. In 2007, she was found guilty and sentenced to five days of community service. Poor thing Naomi. Do you like this story? Share it with your friends.

How to Assess a Job Offer

How to Assess a Job Offer How to Assess a Job Offer When you want a job- whether it’s your dream job or you’re simply ready to move on- it can be all-too-easy to accept any offer you’re given- even if it’s not the right offer for you. “The number one misstep I see clients take is the failure to step back, take a breath, and meaningfully assess a job offer,” says Karen Elizaga, executive coach and author of Find Your Sweet Spot . “They are almost inclined to jump immediately at an offer.” So how can you pause to determine whether an offer is really worth it? Luckily, it’s easy to do with Glassdoor’s How to Get a Job guide . It offers a bevy of questions you can ask yourself to assess the offer, gives tips to help you negotiate, and it even provides a complete email script for sending your initial negotiation email you can use word-for-word. Here, we’ve distilled the basic steps you need to take to assess any offer, and how to begin a negotiation with a potential employer. It doesn’t have to be intimidating with these steps! When you receive a job offer , you need to hit pause long enough to ask yourself questions before you give an answer, according to Glassdoor’s guide- and Elizaga totally agrees. “It is crucial to take a step before taking a leap,” she says, advising that you first ask, “is this job what you want to be doing? And does it align with your skills, talent, and purpose?” Glassdoor recommends you assess the company, post-interview to make sure it seems like a place you would like to work. You can ask yourself, “what’s the culture at this company, and how do I fit in?” Elizaga recommends. “I have seen clients take a job where the fit- in the context of their skills and talents with the job- was excellent. But in the end, these jobs didn’t work out because the company’s culture did not jive with their own moral compass.” You may also want to evaluate what the upward trajectory, in other words, the possibilities for advancement at this company, are, says Elizaga. “You want to consider not only the wonderful aspects of this job, but where you might rise to in the future,” Elizaga explains. The next step in evaluating a job offer is to move past the job and look at what is also being offered in the pay and benefits package . Glassdoor suggests you ask yourself the questions, “does the salary align with what you were expecting [and] do the benefits offered feel fair   and reflect what you were looking for?” With the answers, you’ll know whether to negotiate. The idea of negotiating can be unnerving to many people, but it doesn’t have to be difficult. According to our guide, “one of the worst things you can do during salary negotiation is just make up a number. By backing up your ask with research, you’ll likely feel more confident about making it.” Luckily, you can use Glassdoor’s Know Your Worth â„¢ salary calculator to discover the job’s average pay range. “It’s important to know what is reasonable for the market,” Elizaga agrees. That’s because, in part, “you don’t want to be negotiating for more when, in fact, what you are being offered is entirely reasonable and/or generous,” she says. Of course, you don’t want to focus on salary alone. Before you begin your negotiation, think about whether the other benefits- vacation, commissions, bonuses, stock options, and so on- are appropriate and appealing, or could be tweaked to make the offer even better off. Then, “when negotiating, think about what value you bring to the table, rather than how their first offer is deficient or not enough to cover your lifestyle,” advises Elizaga. “Consider the offer from the employer’s point of view. What are they getting for the compensation that they’re offering? If you think you contribute more value than the compensation would indicate, then definitely ask for more.” Or ask for an expansion of their benefits package. Lastly, “when going in to negotiate, have a strategy and be entirely comfortable with what you’re asking for,” she says. Employers can tell when you don’t believe your own story. You’re much more likely to get what you want when you emphatically believe your value.” Are you an employer? Check out our Talent Solutions Blog . Thanks for finding us!

Best Jobs for Community College Graduates

Best Jobs for Community College Graduates Best Jobs for Community College Graduates Many high school students overlook community colleges when considering higher education. According to the  Community College Research Center, 8.7 million students attended community colleges in 2016-2017. 34 percent of all undergraduate students attended school at the community college level. Why are community colleges worth a serious look in todays higher education marketplace? Reasons to Consider Community College Cost Savings Why consider a community college instead of a four-year college? Certainly, cost is one factor. According to the  College Board, the average tuition for in-state students at public two-year colleges (the typical community college) for 2018-2019 was $3,660, while public four-year colleges charged $26,290 and private colleges had anaverage tuition cost  of $35,830. In addition, over a dozen states now offer some form of  free community college education. Job Opportunities Another compelling reason to consider community colleges is the rapid rate of growth anticipated in occupations requiring an associates degree - the degree typically offered at community colleges. The Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts that associates degree jobs will grow by 17.6% by 2022, while bachelors degree jobs will grow by 12.1%. Potential Income Income level is yet another reason to consider a community college degree. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, two-year college graduates earned an average of $42,952 as  of the third quarter of 2018, while high school graduates earned an average of only $38,272. A major reason for the relatively high growth rates and income levels of community college jobs is the specialized nature of many of the degrees. Community college students often study disciplines in  which they develop skills that are readily applicablein the marketplace. The vast majority of the highest paying associates degree  jobs (and those with the highest projected growth rates) fall into three categories: healthcare, engineering and other areas of technology. All of these segments are experiencing an above-average expansion in employment opportunities due to economic trends. Top 17 Best Jobs for Community College Graduates Of course, the best jobs for associates degree  holders will vary based on the unique skills, interests and values that you bring to the table. Two major considerations will be income potential and the availability of jobs. Heres a list of two-year degrees with solid income and growth potential, according to the  Bureau of Labor Statistics: Construction managers  attracted an average salary of $91,370 as  of May 2017, but keep in mind the fact that they usually had acquired  several years construction experience in conjunction with their degree. Construction manager jobs are expected to grow by 11% by 2026. However, construction is a very cyclical field where opportunities will fluctuate greatly betweenperiods  of  economic  expansion to recessions. Diagnostic medical sonographers  vacanciesare expected to experience growth of 23% or higher by 2026, with an average income of $55,270 as  of May 2017. Dental hygienists  jobsare expected to grow at a much higher-than-average rate of 20% by 2026.  On average they earned $74,070 as  of May 2017.  Registered nurse  roles  and  radiation therapist  jobs  both are slated for growth rates between 13-15% by 2026, with average salaries of $70,000 and $80,570 respectively,as  of May 2017. Opportunities for  veterinary technologists and technicians  are expected to expand 20% by 2026, with an average salary of $33,400 as  of May 2017. Vacancies  for  environmental science and protection technicians  and  environmental engineering technicians  are both expected to grow 13-15% by 2026.  They garnered average salaries of $45,490 and $50,230 respectively,as  of May 2017. Civil engineering technician  jobs  are expected to grow by an average of 9% by 2026 and had an average salary of $51,620,as  of May 2017. Geologic and petroleum technician  jobs  are  forecast  to expand 16% by 2026.  They had an average income of $54,190 as  of May 2017. Jobs for  funeral  directors  are expected to increase 5% by 2026 and attracted an average salary of $56,850,as  of May 2017. Paralegals and legal assistants  can expect job growth of about 15% through 2026. The average salary for this field was $50,410 as  of May 2017. Jobs for  web developers  are  suggested  to expand15% by 2026 and they attracted an average salary of $67,990 as  of May 2017. Respiratory therapists and radiologic technologists  are predicted to experience job growth of 23% and 13% respectively by 2026 and earned average salaries of about $60,000,as  of May 2017. Physical therapy assistants  and  occupational therapy assistants  are expected to experience job growth of 29-31% by 2026 and had average salaries of $57,430 and $59,310 respectively,as  of May 2017.

This is how money stress affects women according to experts

This is how money stress affects women according to experts This is how money stress affects women according to experts Money is a tricky subject. It touches every single part of our lives, be it our relationships, our careers, our health, and beyond. This can put stress on us beyond just the literal money concerns. But it also carries with it a societal taboo and a healthy dose of shame, which makes it even harder to deal with. Combine these facts and stress is inevitable.To make things worse, women are more worried about money than men are. According to a study by  Allianz, 67% of women worry about covering their current financial expenses compared to 57% of men. It doesn’t get much better when it comes to future planning. Eighty-one percent of women stress about planning for their future financial needs compared to 72% of men.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!Why is this? Roughly 75% of Americans don’t have any savings to fall back and many live paycheck to paycheck. More than half of all workers admit to feeling financially stressed, costing business an estimated $250 billion a year in lost productivity and absenteeism, according to a  Mercer  study. Women make up 57% of the workforce in the United States, but they are paid a median salary that is 81% of what their male colleagues are paid. Women have less household debt than their male counterparts, but only 42% reported being comfortable with their debt level compared to 56% of men. Women are less prepared for retirement, saving an average of only $165,200 compared to their male counterparts, who have an average $243,300 saved. However, both men and women expect to retire around the same age. 81% of women stress about planning for their future financial needs compared to 72% of men. So what does all this stress lead to?Unhealthy behaviorsWe all have some unhealthy coping behaviors that we gravitate towards when we’re overwhelmed by stress. For me, it’s eating too much candy and watching lots of tv. In moderation, these things feel great, but with too much, I feel like crap and I regret it afterwards. Money stress is no different; it can lead to behavior that isn’t good for us. Other unhealthy behaviors can be excess drinking, drug use, overeating, overspending, and more. These behaviors can negatively impact our physical and mental health, which then in turn makes us more stressed.Lack of self careWhen people are stressed, we also tend to readily abandon the things that make us feel better. This can be healthy eating, exercising, or getting enough rest. Not only does stress make us veer towards negative behavior mentioned above, but money stress can also mean we can’t necessarily afford self care activities. After all, the gym membership is one of the fi rst things financial experts recommend that you drop if you’re having money trouble. Plus, healthy food is more expensive than unhealthy food. It’s difficult to continue to take care of yourself when you’re having money trouble.Depression and Low Self EsteemMoney issues, but debt in particular, can impact your mental health and self esteem. Many of my clients are struggling with self worth and self esteem issues stemming from their financial problems. It’s hard not to feel like a failure when you’re in debt or have made poor financial decisions. These emotional issues can also exacerbate financial problems by leading to more overspending.Melanie Lockert, founder of  Dear Debt, has written about this a lot. She started her blog to tell her story about paying off her own mountain of debt. After time, she realized that many people were finding her blog by Googling phrases like “I want to kill myself because of debt.” She realized that mental health and debt were linked an d inspired her to spread mental health awareness through her work.If you’re feeling overwhelmed and depressed due to your money situation, you’re not alone. If you’re struggling, please seek help through your doctor or by calling 1-800-273-8255.InsomniaThere’s a reason the saying “losing sleep” exists. When we are stressed out, we have more trouble sleeping. There’s too much on our minds to slow down, calm down and get some rest. Lack of sleep makes us more stressed and can lead to illness.IllnessStress can cause or exacerbate many different illnesses. The human stress response causes excess  cortisol  to be released in our bodies. When that happens rarely, it’s not a problem. In fact, it was designed as a way for us to react properly and keep ourselves alive. However, when stress is a constant, cortisol is being released nonstop. This can make you more susceptible to things like: Anxiety Depression Digestive problems Headaches Heart disease Sleep problems Weight gain Memory and concentration impairment Not only does illness negatively affect our lives, but it can cause added financial problems in the form of doctors bills and missing work.Relationship troublesMoney problems and stress can lead to relationship problems. In fact, money is one of the top causes of relationship discord. This can happen both in romantic and platonic relationships, depending on the situation. According to a  2017 MagnifyMoney survey, 21 percent of divorced respondents claimed that money was the cause for their divorce. And it’s not just a problem among those who weren’t making enough money. In those who earned over $100,000 a year, 33 percent of them said money was the cause of their divorce! (More money, more problems?) To make matters worse, divorce is an expensive thing to go through. Fifty-nine percent of respondents said that they went into debt  because  of their divorce.As you probably could guess, all of these consequences of stress can lead to more financial trouble! It can become a vicious cycle: financial problems stress health and relationship troubles + negative coping behaviors financial problems repeat.This article originally appeared on Maggie Germano.You might also enjoy… New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people
