Few&Far’s Post

Once you've climbed into a leadership position as a VP/C-level person, what is next, if you're craving more flexibility and more control over your daily schedule and who you work with? The portfolio career route might be for you. Taking the portfolio route brings flexibility to your work-life balance and allows you to work with who you want, such as businesses that match your interests and values. It can also come with its challenges, as business development and steady income can be points of worry. In our third Career Route, Nick takes a deep dive into the Portfolio Route, sharing expert tips directly from the Career Coaching Guide on how you can build the best chance of being successful with this route. Let us help you decide if this is the right path for you. Download the Portfolio Career Guide to learn more: https://lnkd.in/ejgwbpZM #TechCareers #CareerGuide

"In your experience, what can you typically negotiate on when you already work for a company?" "When starting a business, would you rather pitch to VC or accelerator? Why?" "As a founder, how would you approach the first fund rising?" These are just some of the questions we delved into during our Equity 101 event, hosted in collaboration with Creandum a couple of weeks ago. The session was designed to shed light on the complexities of navigating stock options, share distributions, and equity agreements, equipping all of the womxn in the room from the tech industry with practical knowledge to make informed decisions in their careers and ventures. If you missed the event, check out our recap. And if you'd like to join us at our next event, feel free to drop us a message—we’d love to have you there! 👋 Michelle C.

This is one way to cut a slice through the recruitment noise 🍕 Pizza Hut turned the ‘September Surge’ job hunt into a clever campaign: delivering a pizza and your CV on the pizza box, straight to the company you are applying for. Potentially as controversial as pineapple on pizza, but a fun and tasty way to grab a hiring manager's attention. What do you think is the best way to cut through the noise in recruitment?

At the start of our Equity 101 event last week, we asked the women in attendance: "On a scale of 1 to 5, how confident are you in understanding share options?" The results were eye-opening—36% of attendees rated their confidence at 1, due to a lack of familiarity with the intricacies of equity and share options. That’s why we organised this event, in collaboration with Creandum, to help bridge this gap and empower women with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their share options and equity. We believe everyone deserves to approach these topics with confidence, regardless of their starting point. Through the insightful presentation by Michelle C. and Richard Keuntje and the informative panel discussion with Fernanda Dobal, Amy Combrinck ACC and Susana Videira Lopes, we aimed to demystify share options and make the process of understanding them more approachable. A huge thank you to all the incredible women who joined us and a special shoutout to Creandum, who have been wonderful hosts and partners. Keep an eye out for future events—there’s much more to come. 🚀
