They have the skills companies need and the ability to shift jobs with ease. Many employers assume tech workers want remote work—and that offering the opportunity to work away from the office is the best way to attract them and keep them around.

Why Female Entrepreneurs Welcome The End Of The Girlboss Era—Once And For All
The resignation of Glossier CEO Emily Weiss inspired another wave of obituaries for young, female founders. Nevertheless, they persist—and refuse to be put on glass pedestals again. I n October 2021, Rent the Runway cofounder Jennifer Hyman took her 12-year-old subscription fashion company public at a $1.7 billion valuation, valuing her 5.1% stake at nearly $49 million. The 41-year-old CEO was one of only about 25 American women in history to go public with a company she had founded. But Rent the Runway’s IPO was even more unusual for not only having a female founder but also a female CFO and a female COO. Hyman celebrated the moment on a flowery Nasdaq podium surrounded by the key women on her team, her two daughters and a shower of pink confetti. But for all the femininity on stage, there is one word that Hyman would not use to mark the moment: “Girlboss.” “We've created a false narrative because we looked at two or three examples of women who were building businesses … [Read more...] about Why Female Entrepreneurs Welcome The End Of The Girlboss Era—Once And For All
What the Business Cycle is Telling us About a Recession
If you're looking for capitulation in 2022, it's in the bond market. And that tells you that investors' confidence in the global economy is very low. Inside the stock market, it's all about defense. Defensive stocks, which include big healthcare companies and dividend-paying value stocks, have been driving the gains. An index of global defensive stocks put together by Goldman Sachs, which is heavy in healthcare giants, has climbed to more than an 18-month high relative to the MSCI AC World Index. Inside the U.S., the defensive ETF ticker DEF has been outperforming the Spider ETF SPY all last week and all year. For market watchers, this feels a whole lot like a recession trade. While investors in the capital markets are battening the hatches for a recession, money in the private markets is also drying up. The value of venture capital deals in the U.S. dropped more than 25% in the second quarter to just $1 trillion, according to Dealogic . M&A activity in the United States … [Read more...] about What the Business Cycle is Telling us About a Recession
Polestar IPO’s meh greeting a troubling signal for EV makers
- A + A NEW YORK (June 28): The lukewarm reception for Polestar Automotive Holding, the latest electric-vehicle (EV) company to go public in the US, is sending an ominous message to other start-ups: The purge is not over. Yes, the auto industry is due for a transformation as oil prices soar and the need for cleaner transportation becomes increasingly apparent. But, runaway inflation and a looming economic downturn are making investors leery of speculative investments, which include EV makers despite the allure of the coming revolution. Polestar's tepid welcome — the stock jumped 16% on its first day of trading on Friday and then dropped 15% on Monday — is the latest evidence of that scepticism. The Swedish electric-car maker went public after merging with blank-cheque company Gores Guggenheim Inc. The company's market valuation stood at about US$24 billion as of Monday's close. "EV stocks benefitted greatly from the abundance of liquidity that had been sloshing … [Read more...] about Polestar IPO’s meh greeting a troubling signal for EV makers
