The Gossip Office

We are still on the theme of entrepreneurship, and this series would not be complete without a visit to Founders House. Founders House is a hub for AI start-ups where they can co-work, create a network, get in touch with investors and build Stockholm's start-up climate. We talk to Sara and Ella, who are in the founding team at Founders House and run the every day logistics. They get in touch with many different types of founders and entrepreneurs each day and they shared their insights with us. Then, we also spoke to Jasper. She has recently started her start-up in cyber security after a career as a management consultant in New York. Now she has hired a team together with her co-founder and they have their office at Founders House. Jasper shares some of her insights into the start-up world, and her own experience going from seeing a business opportunity to finding the right co-founder.Questions?

On the topic of what defines a good career, today Amanda has talked to Olof who has had a 20+ year long career at the same bank. He speaks about starting out his career in consulting, and keeping a consultant mindset even when he was employed. How he evaluated his opportunities outside of the bank on a three to four year basis, or whenever he would round off a project. He also shares his views on changing jobs often from the perspective of his experience as a hiring manager, and why organizational changes lead to new career opportunities in the same workplace.Follow us on TikTok & Instagram @thegossipoffice

The theme of "How to define a successful career" continues, and today we have spoken with one of our greatest inspirations - Cecilia Borg. Cecilia was determined to stay no longer than 3 years in her first job, yet ended up remaining there for 10 years.
