“There's a ton of hype around both working at startups and launching a startup. There's excitement, risk, reward and the eschewing of the corporate path. But what's the reality? And is it right for you? We’re getting together early employees and career experts to share their advice and experience about working for a startup.

We’ll discuss the ups, downs, and truths about startup jobs with Larissa Maranhao Rocha, Employee #1 at Brex, Adrian Ryan, Employee #2 at General Assembly, and Bilyana Freye, Co-founder & CEO of Hoppin, as they share their advice with an audience of people starting their careers or transitioning.

Network with other ambitious entrepreneurs and to connect with some of NYC’s fastest growing startups.

You should attend if:

• You are graduating soon or early in your career

• You are interested in making a career transition

• You are exploring a job or career in startups

• You are hiring

About the panelists:
