Financial service employees offered a promotion or opportunity are much more likely to stay at the firm, survey finds. By Keeli Cambourne•14 November 2022•3 minute read Internal mobility is key to retaining staff in financial services, according to the latest LinkedIn Global Talent Trend report. Employees who were promoted or given another opportunity were more likely to stay at their company longer than those who remained in the same role, the October survey found. Two years after an internal move there was a 76 per cent chance the employee was still at their company against a 50 per cent likelihood for a staffer who had stayed in the same role. The differences widen after three years, at 65 per cent versus 38 per cent. Of the 15 industries LinkedIn analysed, financial services companies saw the biggest improvement in employee retention among internal movers at the three-year mark while retail companies had the least likelihood of retention even with employees who had moved internally. LinkedIn said hiring activity started to slow down after the post-pandemic recovery in 2022, in line with the slower pace

Some kids make extra cash running lemonade stands. A 12-year-old Mark Cuban sold trash bags door-to-door.The billionaire serial entrepreneur and Dallas Mavericks owner recently told GQ magazine that a family friend gave him the opportunity, marking his first-ever sales job. The friend sold Cuban boxes of trash bags for $3, so Cuban could turn around and sell them around the neighborhood at $6, to save money for sneakers.Cuban said he developed a 14-second pitch for every customer. He'd knock on doors, introduce himself and ask clients if they used garage bags. Then, he'd give out his phone number and offer to personally bring over more boxes whenever they called."It went like this: 'Hi, my name is Mark. Do you use garbage bags? I've got a great deal for you, and every time you need garbage bags, all you ever have to do is call me and I'll put 'em in the back of my wagon and I'll bring 'em right down to your house,'" he recalled."That was my first business: The world's first, probably only, garage bag door-to-door subscription company," added the panelist on ABC's "Shark Tank." The advantage of the brief pitch was explaining the value of his business

Entrepreneurs, business moguls, employees, and job seekers may all be found on the employment-focused internet service, where they are most active. Due to this, some former Facebook employees turned to LinkedIn when Meta began firing people in order to share their experiences and look for new employment. The thousands of persons affected by this mass layoff included IITians and working mothers. Taking to LinkedIn, he wrote, “I was not expecting to be a part layoff, as I had a strong performance in all quarters since I joined Meta.

Switch to Slide ShowSUMMARYThe disappointing journey started in 2014 and eight years down the line, Team India has developed a rather infamous brand for themselves! India are becoming the new chokers of world cricket, replacing South Africa from that spot. 1 / 62014 T20 World Cup final – Lost to Sri Lanka by 6 wickets | The man who helped India lift the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 was in the centre of all the action again. But this time, champion Yuvraj Singh struggled, tried hard and laboured but couldn’t succeed as he scored 11 off 21. The scratchy innings from Yuvi denied the in-form Virat Kohli the strike as India were stifled to 130/4. In reply, Sri Lanka made light work of a modest total as they won by 6 wickets and Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene, playing their last T20Is, finally had their hands on an ICC trophy.

Layoff numbers remain historically low in the labor market, but shocks to tech and finance jobs have been ratcheting up throughout the year. With companies including Twitter, Stripe, Salesforce and Meta announcing staff cuts in a matter of days, and CEOs saying they're preparing for a recession by reducing headcount, the market could get a little tighter for some job seekers rebounding from a layoff.Albert Ko, 37, knows a thing or two about bracing for the worst: He's been through five rounds of layoffs in his 15-year career in engineering and sales, including two instances where he lost his job. He's now a director at AngelList Talent, a career site for startup jobs, and offers up his time to help review resumes, offer advice and connect people with new jobs.He's consistently noticed that sudden job seekers tend to make three big mistakes as they hit the market.

On November 4, 2022, a California district court took up the parties cross-motions for summary judgment in the long-running scraping litigation involving social media site LinkedIn Corp.’s (“LinkedIn”) challenge to data analytics firm hiQ Labs, Inc.’s (“hiQ”) scraping of LinkedIn public profile data.  (hiQ Labs, Inc. v. LinkedIn Corp., No. 17-3301 (N.D. Cal. Nov. 4, 2022)). The court mostly denied both parties’ motions for summary judgment on the principal scraping-related issues related to breach of contract and CFAA liability.  While the court found that hiQ breached LinkedIn’s User Agreement both through its own scraping of LinkedIn’s site and using scraped data, and through its use of independent contractors (so-called “turkers”), who logged into LinkedIn to run quality assurance for hiQ’s “people analytics” product, there were factual issues surrounding hiQ’s waiver and estoppel defenses to its own scraping activities that foreclosed a judgment in favor of either party on that claim.  Similarly, the court found material issues of fact which prevented a ruling on hiQ’s statute of limitations defense to LinkedIn’s claims under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) based on emails exchanged among LinkedIn staff back in 2014 about hiQ’s activities that may or may not have given LinkedIn

Pineapple, an app that’s aiming to reshape professional networking for Gen Z, is officially launching to the public today. The idea behind Pineapple is to give young professionals a way to network with others through a visual story profile that’s kind of like a digital portfolio. For now, the platform is only available on iOS. The professional network is the brainchild of Pineapple’s 22-year-old co-founder and CEO David Diamond, who got an early start in tech as a product design intern at Intercom at age 15. Diamond was initially rejected from Intercom after applying with a standard paper resume and was also told he was too young to work there. After strengthening his resume and building a portfolio, Diamond says he landed the role. “I started to think about how I landed the job and how lucky I was,” Diamond told TechCrunch in an interview. “I wondered, if I had to put together a portfolio, what was the rest of my generation doing? From there, we had a clear vision of building a professional network for Gen Z. We saw that other networks weren’t accurately representing Gen Z. We wanted to make a network that helps Gen Z network with

The Great Resignation has dominated the workplace for nearly two years — but employers may soon be able to heave a sigh of relief. The labor market is now "emerging from" the Great Resignation, LinkedIn's CEO Ryan Roslansky told CNBC Make It. The phenomenon — also known as the "Great Reshuffle" — refers to the mass exodus of workers during the pandemic.According to Roslansky, the year-on-year share of global LinkedIn members changing jobs has dropped from a high of 44% in September last year to -2% this year.Similarly in Asia-Pacific, the "job transition rate" has also drastically fallen in the same time period — from a peak of 83% to 4%, he added.In November alone, more than 20,000 U.S. tech workers were laid off, as internet giants Twitter, Meta and Salesforce downsized their workforce in the past week.Employees are acutely aware of this uncertain environment, too.
