Greetings, readers! I prepared a short version of this week’s newsletter (just layoffs and job postings) because I am not feeling great, and I want feedback on what’s working and what needs to be improved.

Please take 30 seconds and choose which parts of this newsletter you find valuable.

Thanks,
Jess
