Hey remote students! 👋 We have some pretty big news.
We know these past few months have been really tough, and we hope our initiatives have helped you in some small way. While running our mentor matching program, jobs database, and this newsletter of 50,000 students, we quickly realized that in the time of COVID-19, everyone needs a little more community.
We are extremely excited to announce the launch of the Remote Students community platform, a place where all of us can share opportunities, events, resources, and help each other achieve our career dreams. Whether you’re entering the workforce, going back to school in the fall, or taking a gap year, we hope you can find a home on Remote Students. 💖
A few of the things happening next week inside the community:
🎙 Q&A with Alex Rechevskiy tomorrow (Senior PM @ Google)
💻 Tech Talk with Jacob Simon (CTO @ Exponent, ex-Dropbox)
🎙 Q&A with Will Robbins (Investor @ Contrary Capital)
🌎 A gap year community (launching next Friday!)
The first round of acceptances go out Sunday night, so apply now to be one of the first students on the platform! We look forward to talking to you there 🥰
This week, we’ve chosen to highlight some of the amazing conversations already happening within the platform. Check them out below and come back to these links once you’ve been accepted!
We will continue sending our normal newsletter next week, but you’ll hear all of our latest opportunities first if you’re on the new platform.
