1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,160
All right, so are you ready to dive deep into Airbnb today?

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,560
Always ready for a deep dive.

3
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:07,400
So many listeners have been asking

4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,080
about Airbnb's remote work policies.

5
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,440
Yeah, I've seen that too.

6
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,840
They want the scoop on what kind of jobs are up for grabs.

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,640
And most importantly, if Airbnb is actually

8
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,160
a good company to work for.

9
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:21,000
For sure.

10
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,320
Well, get this.

11
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,240
Airbnb has gone all in on remote first.

12
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:26,080
Interesting.

13
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:28,280
And we uncovered a super interesting detail.

14
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,000
OK, I'm all ears.

15
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,760
Starting in September, they're letting their employees

16
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,000
work from anywhere in the world.

17
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:34,720
Wow, really?

18
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,920
Yeah, for up to 90 days a year.

19
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:37,880
That's amazing.

20
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,720
We dug into a recent YouTube video

21
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,240
that breaks it all down.

22
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,400
Plus, we've got some Intel on current job openings.

23
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:45,160
OK, awesome.

24
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:47,400
And of course, what it's really like to work there,

25
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:48,760
you know, the behind the scenes stuff.

26
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,320
Got to get that insider perspective.

27
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:50,880
Exactly.

28
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,840
It's pretty incredible to see a company as big as Airbnb

29
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,960
making such a bold move, you know?

30
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:56,480
Right.

31
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,760
This isn't just some temporary pandemic thing.

32
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,760
CEO Brian Chesky himself said it's permanent.

33
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,400
I think it could signal a much bigger shift

34
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,000
in how we all work, you know?

35
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:06,680
Totally.

36
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:07,080
Totally.

37
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,480
The whole way we approach work might be changing.

38
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,480
Yeah, they've laid out these three core principles

39
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:12,600
for this new way of working.

40
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:13,800
OK, let's hear them.

41
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,480
All right, so first, you can work from home, the office,

42
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:18,480
or a mix of both.

43
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:18,920
Got it.

44
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:19,960
Makes sense.

45
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:21,880
You know, flexibility is a key these days.

46
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:22,440
Definitely.

47
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,880
Second, you can work from anywhere within the country

48
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:25,720
that hires you.

49
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:26,120
All right.

50
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,240
And third, and this is the big one,

51
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,440
you can work from anywhere in the world

52
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,360
for up to 90 days a year from a list of 170 countries.

53
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,360
No way.

54
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,840
I know.

55
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,960
Imagine sipping a cappuccino in a Parisian cafe

56
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:41,800
while you work.

57
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,360
Sounds dreamy.

58
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,600
Seriously.

59
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,840
That could be your reality starting in September.

60
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,840
This definitely brings up some interesting questions

61
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,040
about the future of work.

62
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,040
I was just thinking that.

63
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,680
Like, what happens to those giant office buildings?

64
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:54,240
Right.

65
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,520
How does it change the whole team dynamic

66
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:57,800
and how we collaborate?

67
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:58,880
Those are great questions.

68
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,760
It seems like how we define work

69
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,680
is changing right in front of us.

70
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,800
It'll be really interesting to see how Airbnb handles

71
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,040
all of this, you know?

72
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:06,880
For sure.

73
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,440
Uncharted territory.

74
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,520
But while we're thinking about those bigger questions,

75
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,800
let's get back to you, the listener, and your job search.

76
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,480
Yeah, let's get practical.

77
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,600
This YouTube video we found actually

78
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,120
shows you step by step how to find open positions

79
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,960
on Airbnb's website.

80
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,480
It's careers.airbnd.com.

81
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,480
Handy.

82
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:27,240
I know.

83
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,440
And guess what?

84
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,520
They have a ton of positions open right now.

85
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:31,960
Like, how many are we talking?

86
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,480
Like, 208 positions.

87
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:34,080
Wow.

88
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,560
Across 62 locations.

89
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:36,920
That's a good sign, right?

90
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:37,920
Shows they're growing.

91
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:38,280
Oh, yeah.

92
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,320
And they're actively hiring.

93
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,920
Getting news for job seekers.

94
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:42,960
They're looking for people in so many departments,

95
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,240
administrative, engineering, data science, design,

96
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,960
community support, legal, finance, marketing.

97
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,080
Wow, the whole gamut.

98
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:51,920
Pretty much.

99
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:53,240
They even have internships.

100
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,040
Oh, cool.

101
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:54,720
Yeah.

102
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,680
And a special program for recent grads,

103
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,400
it's called the University Program.

104
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,520
So they're thinking about the future, too,

105
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,720
building a diverse and talented workforce.

106
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:03,200
Exactly.

107
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,000
They're not just looking for seasoned professionals.

108
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:05,920
Yeah, makes sense.

109
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:08,320
They're investing in the next generation of talent.

110
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,320
Smart move.

111
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,160
And they're open to different ways of working, too.

112
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:11,960
Oh, how so?

113
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,120
They have some freelance and contract opportunities

114
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,200
available right now.

115
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:15,880
Interesting.

116
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,480
Though not as many as full-time roles.

117
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:17,960
OK.

118
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,240
But it shows they value flexibility.

119
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,320
Yeah, it's definitely not just the traditional 9 to 5 anymore.

120
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,120
Right.

121
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,920
The way we work is definitely changing.

122
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:27,480
Adapting to the times.

123
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,600
So if you're thinking, OK, this all sounds fantastic.

124
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:31,920
But is there a catch?

125
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:33,520
There's always a catch, right?

126
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,840
We did some digging into employee feedback on Comparably.

127
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,840
It seems like Airbnb has a pretty great company culture.

128
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,120
OK, that's a good sign.

129
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,400
They scored 4.1 out of 5.

130
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,720
Not bad at all.

131
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,200
And their CEO, Brian Chesky, he gets high marks, too.

132
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,200
That's important.

133
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,840
A good leader can make a huge difference.

134
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,240
Seriously, it affects everything.

135
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,920
A positive company culture and a well-respected CEO,

136
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,400
that's a good foundation.

137
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,880
Yeah, and employee reviews show 75% satisfaction,

138
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:02,840
which is impressive.

139
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:03,240
Pretty, yeah.

140
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,360
Yeah.

141
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,440
But, and there's always a, but it seems like their compensation

142
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,560
might not be as competitive as some other big tech companies.

143
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,400
Ah, so that's the trade-off.

144
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,240
It seems like it.

145
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,320
So it comes down to priorities, right?

146
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:18,880
I think so.

147
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,800
Are you willing to maybe take a slightly smaller paycheck

148
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,800
for the flexibility in the culture?

149
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,840
Yeah, that's a good question.

150
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:28,040
Only you can answer that.

151
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,400
Right, and there's one more thing we need to talk about.

152
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,280
Diversity and inclusivity.

153
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:34,720
Yeah, that's super important.

154
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,560
Airbnb ranked in the top 35% for diversity, which isn't bad.

155
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:39,960
OK.

156
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,600
But their gender score is in the lower 40%.

157
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,720
Huh, so there's room for improvement there.

158
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:45,320
Definitely.

159
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,320
Something to think about.

160
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,600
Yeah, maybe do some more research

161
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,080
into how Airbnb is addressing those issues.

162
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,360
What are they doing to create a more equitable workplace?

163
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,720
Those are important questions.

164
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:56,320
For sure.

165
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,720
Got to align yourself with companies that share your values.

166
00:04:58,720 --> 00:04:59,360
Absolutely.

167
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,160
It jobs about more than just a paycheck.

168
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:01,680
Totally.

169
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,240
It's about being part of something you believe in.

170
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,600
One last thing before we move on.

171
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,920
It sounds like Airbnb is a fast-paced environment.

172
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,160
It does, from what we've gathered.

173
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,480
So, you know, that could be great if you thrive

174
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,800
on that kind of energy.

175
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,200
Yeah, some people love that.

176
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,120
But maybe not so much if you prefer a slower pace.

177
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:19,600
Right.

178
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,800
It's all about knowing yourself and your work style.

179
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:22,640
Exactly.

180
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,000
Got to find the right fit.

181
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,920
So before we dive into the specific departments and roles,

182
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:27,320
OK.

183
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,880
Let's recap what we know about Airbnb so far.

184
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:30,640
Sounds good.

185
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,400
They're a forward-thinking company.

186
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:32,920
Definitely.

187
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,440
And gracing remote work.

188
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:35,280
Big time.

189
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:37,240
With tons of potential opportunities

190
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,400
in all sorts of fields.

191
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,840
And they're trying to adapt to the changing world of work.

192
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:42,640
Yeah, prioritizing flexibility.

193
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,560
But like with any job search, you got to do your research.

194
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:46,160
Absolutely.

195
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,680
Way all the factors.

196
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,040
Salary benefits, the culture, diversity,

197
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,400
and your personal values to decide

198
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,480
if it's the right fit for you.

199
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,800
So are you ready to dig into the details of those job openings?

200
00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,760
Let's do it.

201
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,000
I'm excited to see what they're looking for in the next hires.

202
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:02,960
Me too.

203
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,760
All right, let's dive into those job openings.

204
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:05,400
Let's do it.

205
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,240
Remember, Airbnb has positions in a ton of different departments.

206
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:09,600
Oh, yeah.

207
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,760
We're talking everything from admin stuff

208
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,160
to something called the Airbnb Capacity Center.

209
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,080
Interesting.

210
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,640
And there's business operations, analysis, community support,

211
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,160
data science, design, employee experience, and a bunch more.

212
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,640
Wow, that's quite a list.

213
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,880
Anything in particular jumping out at you?

214
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,720
Honestly, I'm just impressed by the sheer variety of it all.

215
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,200
Yeah, it does seem like they have something for everyone.

216
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,840
But I am intrigued by that Airbnb Capacity Center.

217
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:36,520
Oh, yeah.

218
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,480
What is that, exactly?

219
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,880
It sounds kind of mysterious, right?

220
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:39,480
It does.

221
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,720
Like, what goes on there?

222
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,880
From what we could gather, it seems

223
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,560
to be the heart of their operations.

224
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,200
Oh, OK.

225
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,520
Making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

226
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,680
Like the engine room of the Airbnb machine?

227
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:50,400
Exactly.

228
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:50,960
OK.

229
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,040
And we found roles in production design,

230
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,360
technical recruiting, engineering, even data science,

231
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,920
all within this Capacity Center.

232
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:03,240
So it's not just about customer service or hospitality.

233
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,760
It seems like it's much more than that.

234
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,640
They're probably building the systems and processes

235
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,800
that power the whole platform.

236
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:10,440
Right.

237
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,560
Think about it.

238
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,160
They have to manage millions of listings.

239
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:14,720
Oh, yeah.

240
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,400
And make sure things are running smoothly for both hosts

241
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,200
and guests.

242
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,280
It's a huge operation.

243
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,000
Massive.

244
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,040
And speaking of keeping things running smoothly,

245
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,480
they seem to be really invested in community support.

246
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:27,160
That makes sense.

247
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,280
Building a strong community is key for Airbnb.

248
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:30,680
It is.

249
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,000
They want both the hosts and the guests to feel connected.

250
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:34,360
Right.

251
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,560
Like, they're part of something.

252
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:36,160
Exactly.

253
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,440
And we found a bunch of roles in community support.

254
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,080
Like what?

255
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,120
Regional manager roles, quality training, analytics

256
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,360
and insights, senior analyst roles, and more.

257
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,840
So they're really putting resources

258
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,080
into maintaining those relationships.

259
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,440
Yeah, making sure everyone has a positive experience.

260
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,200
I like how they're blending the traditional hospitality

261
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,760
aspects with all this cutting-edge technology.

262
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,720
Gets a cool mix.

263
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,720
Like using data analysis to improve the hospitality

264
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:01,560
experience.

265
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,280
Yeah, it's not just about warm smiles and friendly greetings

266
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:04,800
anymore.

267
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,800
It's about data-driven hospitality.

268
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,960
Exactly.

269
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,760
And speaking of opportunities, let's not

270
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,400
forget about internships.

271
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:12,560
Oh, right, those.

272
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,720
It looks like they have internships in legal, beta

273
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,680
science, communications, and public policy.

274
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,000
Wow, that's a great way to get your foot in the door

275
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,640
at a company like Airbnb.

276
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,840
I know, especially for recent grads.

277
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,160
Yeah, or anyone looking to switch careers.

278
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,120
It's a chance to gain experience in a fast-growing company.

279
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,560
And a dynamic environment.

280
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,520
For sure.

281
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,560
Now, for those of you who maybe aren't looking for a traditional full-time

282
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:39,320
gig, remember, Airbnb also has some freelance and contract

283
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,080
opportunities.

284
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:40,760
Right.

285
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,240
Not as many as full-time positions, but still.

286
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,400
Something to keep in mind.

287
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,400
Especially if you value flexibility.

288
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,840
And independence.

289
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,640
So we've got full-time roles, internships, and freelance

290
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:52,120
gigs.

291
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,080
Got it.

292
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,360
But where are these opportunities located?

293
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,440
Well, the full-time positions are spread across a whopping 62

294
00:08:58,440 --> 00:08:59,160
locations.

295
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,200
62.

296
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,480
But remember, you can work from anywhere within the country

297
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,480
that hires you.

298
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,440
Right, right.

299
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,720
And then there's that 90-day work from anywhere in the world,

300
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,880
Perk, starting in September.

301
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,080
It opens up a whole world of possibilities.

302
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,200
It does, doesn't it?

303
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,800
But realistically, most of the full-time positions

304
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,320
are concentrated in about 20 countries.

305
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:20,800
OK, which ones are we talking about?

306
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,960
Mainly North America, Europe, and Asia.

307
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,600
So if you're not in one of those countries,

308
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,880
your options might be limited for now.

309
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:27,720
Yeah, that's true.

310
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,520
But, hey, Airbnb is always growing and expanding.

311
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:31,040
It are.

312
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,160
So keep an eye out.

313
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,240
New opportunities could pop up anywhere.

314
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:34,800
Exactly.

315
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:35,560
Never say never.

316
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:37,920
So let's break it down a bit further.

317
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,880
Where are they hiring the most right now?

318
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,800
Well, as you might expect, they have a lot of openings

319
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:44,720
in the US.

320
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:45,240
Makes sense.

321
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,080
Their headquarters is in San Francisco.

322
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,760
But there are also positions in India, China, Germany, Belgium,

323
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:58,320
Ireland, the UK, Luxembourg, the Philippines, Mexico, Italy,

324
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:58,920
Canada.

325
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,840
Wow, they're really all over the place.

326
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:01,920
And that's not all.

327
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,600
There's also France, Brazil, South Korea, Singapore,

328
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:06,920
Australia, and Japan.

329
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,720
Seriously, global company.

330
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,960
And remember, even within those countries,

331
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,040
you have the flexibility to work from pretty much

332
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,280
anywhere within the borders.

333
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,800
You could be in a bustling city or a quiet countryside town.

334
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,360
It's all about finding what suits your lifestyle.

335
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,080
I like that.

336
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,000
OK, now let's zero in on those freelance and contract roles.

337
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,000
All right.

338
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Right now, they have four open positions.

339
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:28,560
OK.

340
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:31,000
And they all seem to be based in San Francisco.

341
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:31,440
Interesting.

342
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,960
So maybe they're centralizing some functions

343
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,040
even as they embrace remote work for other departments.

344
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:37,480
Could be.

345
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,520
What kind of freelance roles are they looking for?

346
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:40,640
They're pretty specialized.

347
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:41,520
Like what?

348
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,400
There's a service care manager for image.

349
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:45,000
OK.

350
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,760
A service care manager for Korea and Japan,

351
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,080
a service care manager for Singapore,

352
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,920
and a marketplace listing photographer.

353
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,200
Those sound like they require specific skills and expertise.

354
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:57,840
They do.

355
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,240
So it makes sense that they might be more concentrated

356
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,000
in a central location for now.

357
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,120
Yeah, I think so.

358
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,000
So we've covered the types of positions, the departments,

359
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,040
and the locations.

360
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:07,640
We have.

361
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,440
What else should we know about these job openings?

362
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,960
I think it's important to understand what each department

363
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:13,760
actually does.

364
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:14,680
Yeah, good point.

365
00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:16,360
And what kind of skills they're looking for.

366
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,080
Let's paint a clearer picture of what it might be like to actually

367
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,720
work in some of these departments.

368
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:22,320
Let's do it.

369
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,200
For example, let's zoom in on the community support department.

370
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,040
OK, good one.

371
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,800
These folks are on the front lines,

372
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:32,120
making sure both hosts and guests have a smooth and positive

373
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,600
experience on the platform.

374
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,600
So if you're someone who loves helping people

375
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,040
and has great communication skills,

376
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,400
this could be a good fit for you.

377
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,520
But it's not just about being friendly and helpful.

378
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:42,200
Right.

379
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:42,880
No more than that.

380
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,840
They're working with sophisticated systems

381
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,120
and using data to solve problems quickly and efficiently.

382
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,120
So you've got to be tech savvy, too.

383
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,400
Like a tech savvy problem solver.

384
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,280
Exactly.

385
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,480
OK, now let's shift gears to the data science department.

386
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,520
All right, the data wizards.

387
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,360
Airbnb generates mountains of data.

388
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:01,880
I bet.

389
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,920
And these folks are the ones who make sense of it all.

390
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,480
Crunching numbers, spotting trends.

391
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,960
Yeah, and using that data to make important decisions.

392
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,160
The brains behind the Airbnb algorithms.

393
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,200
Pretty much.

394
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,920
So we're talking about analytical thinkers, experts

395
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,200
in statistical monitoring.

396
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,560
The folks who can handle big data.

397
00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:21,840
Yep, they play a key role in understanding

398
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,400
how people use Airbnb.

399
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,440
And shaping the future of the platform.

400
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,320
Next up, let's step into the design department.

401
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:29,640
The creative hub.

402
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,520
They're the ones behind the look and feel

403
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,360
of everything you see on Airbnb.

404
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,000
From the app to the website.

405
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,360
Upranding the marketing materials, all of it.

406
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,000
They make it visually appealing and user-friendly.

407
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Exactly.

408
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,600
So obviously, strong visual design skills are essential.

409
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,520
And experience with user interface design.

410
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:48,040
Oh, yeah.

411
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,920
And a deep understanding of user experience principles.

412
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,560
It's a mix of creativity and technical know-how.

413
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:54,320
Definitely.

414
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,400
And it plays a huge role in how people interact with Airbnb.

415
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,000
And finally, let's talk about the engineering department.

416
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:00,680
The builders.

417
00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:02,560
The ones who make the magic happen.

418
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:06,080
They build and maintain the entire technical infrastructure

419
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,280
of Airbnb.

420
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,480
Think of them like the architects and construction workers

421
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,720
of the digital world.

422
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:12,360
I like that.

423
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,920
So we're talking about software engineers, web developers,

424
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,120
database administrators.

425
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,080
The folks who keep everything running smoothly.

426
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,520
And securely.

427
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:20,640
It's a demanding job.

428
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:21,240
For sure.

429
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,600
But it's also super rewarding.

430
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,160
You're literally building the platform

431
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,160
that millions of people use.

432
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:28,640
Right.

433
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,280
You're making it possible for people to connect and experience

434
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:32,840
the world in new ways.

435
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:33,200
All right.

436
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,840
So we've given you a taste of what

437
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,520
it might be like to work in some of Airbnb's key departments.

438
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:39,600
Just a glimpse.

439
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,760
Remember, there are many other departments and roles

440
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:43,640
to explore.

441
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:44,240
Definitely.

442
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,040
Each with its own unique challenges and rewards.

443
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,080
We encourage you to head over to their website.

444
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,480
Careers.arabnb.com.

445
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,840
Browse the job listings and really

446
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,880
dig into the details of what each role involves.

447
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,040
The more you know about what they're looking for,

448
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,480
the better prepared you'll be.

449
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:01,880
Exactly.

450
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,360
OK, so now let's move on to the application process itself.

451
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:05,640
All right.

452
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,240
How do you actually apply for a job at Airbnb?

453
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,920
Well, luckily, the process is pretty straightforward.

454
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:11,680
That's good to hear.

455
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:14,080
Especially if you're applying for a US-based role.

456
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:14,880
OK.

457
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,880
Remember that YouTube video we mentioned earlier?

458
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:17,400
Yeah.

459
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:18,880
Walks you through the steps.

460
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,240
And it's super easy to follow.

461
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:20,800
Great.

462
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,320
So what's the first step?

463
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,040
You head over to careers.arabnb.com.

464
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:25,880
OK.

465
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,680
Find a position that catches your eye.

466
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:28,160
Got it.

467
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,920
And click Apply Now.

468
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:30,720
Simple enough.

469
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,440
Then you fill out an online application.

470
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:32,960
OK.

471
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,640
Upload your resume and cover letter.

472
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:35,680
The usual suspect.

473
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:36,720
Pretty much.

474
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,160
And you answer a few questions about your work situation

475
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:39,840
in the US.

476
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:40,800
All right.

477
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,520
Oh, and one important tip.

478
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:43,280
Yeah.

479
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,680
Pillar your resume and cover letter to each specific role.

480
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:48,680
That's good advice.

481
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,560
It makes a big difference.

482
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,880
So highlight the skills and experiences

483
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,760
that make you a strong candidate for that particular

484
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:56,360
position.

485
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:57,560
Exactly.

486
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,320
And don't be afraid to let your personality shine through.

487
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,960
Airbnb seems like a company that values creativity

488
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:03,920
and individuality.

489
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,240
They do.

490
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,040
So let your application reflect who you are.

491
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,480
Show them what makes you unique.

492
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:09,240
Exactly.

493
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:09,560
OK.

494
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,240
So you've submitted your application.

495
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,200
What happens next?

496
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,720
You enter their system.

497
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:14,760
OK.

498
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,920
And go through the different phases of the recruitment

499
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:18,400
process.

500
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,120
So there might be phone screens, video interviews.

501
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:21,360
Yeah.

502
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,240
Maybe even in-person interviews, depending

503
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,640
on the role and location.

504
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,400
Be prepared to answer questions about your skills,

505
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,360
your experience.

506
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,960
And your understanding of Airbnb's business and culture.

507
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,640
It's important to do your homework.

508
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:34,480
Seriously.

509
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:35,960
Research the company thoroughly.

510
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,200
And be ready to talk about your career goals.

511
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,760
And how they align with Airbnb's mission.

512
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,520
But most importantly, be yourself.

513
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,080
Authenticity is key.

514
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,760
They want to see the real you.

515
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:47,440
OK.

516
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,560
Now let's talk about something that's super relevant to you.

517
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:50,880
OK.

518
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,520
Airbnb's approach to virtual interviews.

519
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,020
Yes.

520
00:15:55,020 --> 00:15:56,560
Since we're talking about remote work.

521
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,840
This is where their commitment to remote work really shines.

522
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:00,720
Oh, so.

523
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,960
They've made it easy for candidates to interview

524
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,320
from anywhere in the world.

525
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,040
That makes sense.

526
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,920
They're totally comfortable doing interviews

527
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,200
over video conferencing.

528
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,880
So even if you're not near one of their offices,

529
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,080
you still have a shot at getting the job.

530
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:13,840
Exactly.

531
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,960
You just need a stable internet connection.

532
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:16,800
Crucial.

533
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,320
A quiet space for the interview.

534
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,800
And dressed professionally.

535
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:20,320
Oh, yeah.

536
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,680
First impressions still matter.

537
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:22,680
Always.

538
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:22,880
All right.

539
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,040
So we've covered a lot here.

540
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,720
We have, from the different departments and roles

541
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,520
to the application process and virtual interviews.

542
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,360
We've tried to give you a good overview of what it takes

543
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:33,960
to land a job at Airbnb.

544
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,200
But remember, this is just the beginning.

545
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:36,840
It is.

546
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,720
Don't just rely on this overview.

547
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:38,920
Right.

548
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,040
Do your own research.

549
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,000
Dig deeper.

550
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,160
Go to their website.

551
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,600
Read their blog posts.

552
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,720
Watch their videos.

553
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,320
And connect with people who work there.

554
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:47,720
Get the inside scoop.

555
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,600
And most importantly, think about your own values and goals.

556
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,640
What are you looking for in a workplace?

557
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,360
What kind of culture do you thrive in?

558
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,640
What are your salary expectations?

559
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,000
Answering these questions will help you figure out

560
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,440
if Airbnb is the right fit for you.

561
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:02,800
OK.

562
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,080
Now let's switch gears and dive into something equally

563
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,040
important.

564
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,080
Employee feedback.

565
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,480
Let's hear what it's really like to work at Airbnb.

566
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,640
Straight from the source.

567
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,640
We've got some insights from Comparably, a website

568
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,520
where employees share their experiences

569
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:17,600
and rate their companies.

570
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:18,840
Great resource.

571
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,760
And first up, Airbnb has a pretty impressive culture score.

572
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:23,640
How impressive.

573
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,280
4.1 out of 5.

574
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,440
That's above average.

575
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:27,040
It is.

576
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:27,240
Yeah.

577
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,880
Suggests a positive and supportive work environment.

578
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,480
People seem to genuinely enjoy working there.

579
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:33,680
They do.

580
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,880
And as we mentioned before, their CEO, Brian Chesky,

581
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,560
is also highly rated.

582
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,920
A good leader can make a world of difference.

583
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:41,400
Seriously.

584
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,920
It sets the tone for the whole company.

585
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,920
And employees report a high level of satisfaction too.

586
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:47,880
Like how high?

587
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,320
75% say they're happy with their jobs.

588
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:51,160
It's pretty high.

589
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:51,720
It is.

590
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,640
They like the challenging projects

591
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,000
and the potential for growth.

592
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,720
Those are definitely appealing perks.

593
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,800
They are, especially for people who

594
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,440
want to develop their skills and move up in the company.

595
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,440
But remember that potential downside we talked about?

596
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:05,640
Oh, yeah, the compensation.

597
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,360
And might not be as competitive as some other tech giants.

598
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:09,640
That's the trade-off, right?

599
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:10,800
So you got to weigh your priorities.

600
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,240
Is a slightly lower salary worth the flexibility, the culture,

601
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,480
and the growth potential?

602
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,560
That's the question.

603
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,840
Now let's circle back to diversity and gender inclusivity.

604
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:21,160
Right.

605
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,200
Important topic.

606
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,200
Airbnb ranked in the top 35% for diversity.

607
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:27,360
OK, not bad.

608
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:29,600
But their gender score is in the lower 40%.

609
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,360
So there's room for improvement there.

610
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,960
This is something potential employees

611
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,720
might want to research further.

612
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:35,440
For sure.

613
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,000
How is Airbnb addressing this issue?

614
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,760
What initiatives are they taking

615
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,080
to create a more inclusive workplace for all genders?

616
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,520
These are things to consider.

617
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,280
A job is more than just a paycheck, right?

618
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,160
Absolutely.

619
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,800
It's about being part of a community that

620
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,440
aligns with your values.

621
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,880
OK, let's dig into some of the specifics

622
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,280
about the employee experience at Airbnb.

623
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:57,040
That's good.

624
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,080
What can we learn from the feedback uncompably?

625
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,240
Well, it seems like Airbnb is known

626
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,640
for being a fast-paced, demanding environment.

627
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,440
Ah, the startup culture.

628
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:07,960
Kind of.

629
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,640
It could be a pro or a con, depending on your personality.

630
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,480
Some people thrive in that kind of high-energy setting.

631
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,040
They love it.

632
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:18,040
But others prefer a more structured, predictable pace.

633
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,000
It's all about knowing yourself and what you're comfortable with.

634
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,120
If you like a challenge and can handle a fast-paced workload,

635
00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:25,440
Airbnb could be great.

636
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,520
Yeah, but if you prefer a slower pace,

637
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,960
you might want to look elsewhere.

638
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,320
Got to find that right fit.

639
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,400
Now, let's talk about work-life balance.

640
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,800
Ah, yes.

641
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,320
The eternal struggle.

642
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,960
How does Airbnb do in that department?

643
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,920
Well, the feedback is mixed.

644
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:40,240
Really?

645
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,760
Some employees say they work long hours

646
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,280
and the culture is demanding.

647
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,760
Which can make it tough to maintain a healthy work-life balance.

648
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,360
But other employees say that the company is supportive

649
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:53,680
of their personal lives.

650
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,760
And they offer flexibility to accommodate their needs.

651
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,160
So it seems like work-life balance at Airbnb

652
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,720
might depend on your specific role.

653
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,320
Maybe your team or your manager.

654
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,120
It's definitely something to ask about during the interview process.

655
00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:06,520
Yeah.

656
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,440
Get a feel for the company's expectations

657
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,880
around work hours and flexibility.

658
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,640
All right, we've covered culture, diversity, work-life balance.

659
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,120
And the employee experience.

660
00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:18,600
But there's one more thing we need to talk about.

661
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:19,680
Salaries.

662
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:20,280
The money.

663
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,720
We mentioned earlier that compensation at Airbnb

664
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,160
might not be as competitive.

665
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,640
Yeah, let's get into the specifics.

666
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,600
What can people realistically expect to earn?

667
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,960
Well, the data from comparably gives us

668
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,000
a pretty good idea of the salary ranges.

669
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:33,840
OK, good.

670
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,840
But remember, these are just averages.

671
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,440
Your actual salary will depend on your specific role,

672
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,040
your experience, your location, and other factors.

673
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:42,680
Makes sense.

674
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,240
So for entry-level positions like a community manager

675
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,920
or an administrative assistant, you're

676
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,000
looking at around $50,000 per year on average.

677
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:50,520
All right.

678
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:55,840
But salaries can go as high as $68,000 or even $90,000,

679
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,240
depending on your seniority.

680
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:58,280
That's quite a range.

681
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:58,920
It is.

682
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,200
Shows you the importance of negotiating your salary.

683
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,120
Don't be afraid to ask for what you're worth.

684
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:04,320
Exactly.

685
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,880
Now, for more experienced roles, like a senior manager of UX

686
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,440
writing, the average salary jumps up significantly.

687
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:12,480
How much are we talking?

688
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,040
You're looking at six figures easily.

689
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,880
And what about those leadership positions?

690
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,480
Like a VP of sales, product, or engineering.

691
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:18,920
Yeah.

692
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,760
Those salaries can go above $250,000 to $270,000 per year.

693
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:24,400
Wow.

694
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,640
So Airbnb does offer competitive salaries,

695
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,480
especially for experienced folks.

696
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:28,800
They do.

697
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,360
But remember, salary is just one piece of the puzzle.

698
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:31,720
Right.

699
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,200
Gotta consider the benefits, the growth potential,

700
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,880
work-life balance, the culture.

701
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:36,880
The whole package.

702
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,120
Find the right balance for you.

703
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:40,000
Don't get fixated on just the number.

704
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,040
It's about how it all fits into your life.

705
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,840
OK, so we've covered a lot of ground here.

706
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,480
We have, from job openings to the application process

707
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,680
to employee feedback and salaries,

708
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,040
we've tried to give you a comprehensive overview of what

709
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,640
it's like to work at Airbnb.

710
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,360
Both the good and the not so good.

711
00:21:55,360 --> 00:21:57,200
But this is just the starting point.

712
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:57,680
It is.

713
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:58,720
Do your own research.

714
00:21:58,720 --> 00:21:59,960
Talk to people who work there.

715
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:01,160
Get the inside scoop.

716
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,520
And make an informed decision.

717
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,520
Airbnb is a dynamic, innovative company.

718
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:06,280
They are.

719
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,360
But it might not be the right fit for everyone.

720
00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:11,480
It's important to think about your own values, priorities,

721
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:12,600
and career goals.

722
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,240
Does Airbnb align with your vision for the future?

723
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,440
That's the key question.

724
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,160
OK, ready to explore something that

725
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,320
might be especially interesting to you?

726
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:22,680
I'm always up for exploring.

727
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,960
Let's talk about Airbnb's work from anywhere policy.

728
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,360
Oh, yeah, the big one.

729
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:29,800
This is where things get really exciting.

730
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,720
Starting in September, they're letting

731
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,200
eligible employees work from anywhere in the world

732
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,840
for up to 90 days a year.

733
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,440
Wow, that's a game changer.

734
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:38,760
It is.

735
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,200
Imagine yourself working from a beach in Bali

736
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,560
or a cafe in Paris.

737
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:43,880
Sounds pretty dreamy.

738
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:44,480
Right.

739
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,400
And it's not just about exotic locations.

740
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:46,960
What else?

741
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,600
It opens up possibilities for people

742
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,520
who want to work remotely within their own country, too.

743
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:52,720
Ah, I see.

744
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,440
Maybe they want to live in a different city.

745
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:55,640
Or be closer to family.

746
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,240
Without sacrificing their career.

747
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:57,840
That's great.

748
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,080
This policy really shows how committed Airbnb

749
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,480
is to flexibility.

750
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,280
And employee well-being.

751
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:04,920
They get it.

752
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,400
Work doesn't have to be confined to an office.

753
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,720
But this new way of working also raises some questions.

754
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:11,520
It does, for sure.

755
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,240
Like how will it impact team dynamics and communication?

756
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,120
That's a big one.

757
00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:19,000
Will it be harder for managers to oversee teams

758
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,680
when everyone's spread out?

759
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,480
And how will they make sure everyone feels connected

760
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,720
and included in the company culture,

761
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,080
regardless of location?

762
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,720
These are all valid questions.

763
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:29,280
They are.

764
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,640
We'll have to see how it all plays out.

765
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:31,960
It's a bold experiment.

766
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,360
But one thing's for sure, Airbnb is at the forefront

767
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:37,280
of redefining the future of work.

768
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:37,760
They are.

769
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,000
They're embracing a global workforce.

770
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,040
And prioritizing flexibility.

771
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,440
So how does this work from anywhere policy actually work?

772
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,800
Well, starting in September, eligible employees

773
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,920
can work from any of the 170 countries

774
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,000
on Airbnb's approved lists.

775
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,840
OK, so there are some limitations.

776
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:57,520
There are.

777
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,120
But it's still a huge list.

778
00:23:59,120 --> 00:23:59,600
It is.

779
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,720
So do they just pick a country and go?

780
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,480
They need to let their manager know.

781
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:03,880
OK.

782
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,080
And make sure their work can be done remotely.

783
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,080
Makes sense.

784
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,400
But other than that, they can choose where they want to be.

785
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,120
Can they stay in one place for the whole 90 days?

786
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:13,040
They can.

787
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,200
Or they can hop around to different countries.

788
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:15,760
Oh, wow.

789
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,520
As long as they follow visa requirements and local laws.

790
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:19,280
Of course.

791
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,200
Got to stay legal.

792
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,480
And Airbnb will help them with visas and work permits.

793
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:24,200
That's helpful.

794
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,680
They want to make the process as easy as possible.

795
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,920
Sounds like they're really invested in making this policy work.

796
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:30,400
Oh, yeah.

797
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,040
For both the company and its employees.

798
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,240
They're putting in the effort to make remote work truly viable.

799
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:37,440
Definitely.

800
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,880
So what are the benefits of this policy for employees?

801
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,760
Well, the biggest one is flexibility.

802
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,480
Employees can choose to live and work in places that they love.

803
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,120
Places that match their interests and lifestyle.

804
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:50,440
And their family needs.

805
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,680
They can experience new cultures,

806
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,640
broaden their horizons.

807
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,280
All while pursuing their careers.

808
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,640
This policy could be a dream come true for digital nomads.

809
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,280
The people who are already working remotely and traveling

810
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:02,840
the world.

811
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,840
But it's also great for people who just want more control

812
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,560
over their work environment.

813
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,840
Maybe you want to work from a beach during the winter.

814
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,680
Or spend a few weeks with family during the holidays.

815
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,360
The possibilities are endless.

816
00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:17,360
It's about designing your own work-life experience.

817
00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:19,720
And let's not forget about the benefits for Airbnb

818
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:20,400
as a company.

819
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:20,840
Right.

820
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,480
It's not just about the employees.

821
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,640
By embracing remote work, they can attract top talent

822
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,040
from all over the globe.

823
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,200
They're not limited by geography anymore.

824
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,520
Which gives them a huge advantage in the competition

825
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:32,160
for talent.

826
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,480
And it promotes diversity and inclusion.

827
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,880
For sure, they're opening up opportunities for people

828
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,640
from all sorts of backgrounds.

829
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,400
And happier employees are usually more productive.

830
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,080
It's a win-win for everyone.

831
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,600
It really seems like it.

832
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,520
Airbnb's work from anywhere policy

833
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:47,960
is an exciting experiment.

834
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,080
It could change the way we all think about work and travel.

835
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,000
It's a glimpse into a future where work is not

836
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,840
tied to a specific place.

837
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,960
A future where employees have the freedom to live and work

838
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:01,080
on their own terms.

839
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,120
And Airbnb is leading the way.

840
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:04,560
But it's important to acknowledge that there

841
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:05,840
are challenges too.

842
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:06,600
Oh, absolutely.

843
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,160
Managing remote teams effectively

844
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,080
requires clear communication and a culture of trust.

845
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:11,520
It does.

846
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,000
You can't just assume it will all work out magically.

847
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,200
And Airbnb will need to invest in the right tools

848
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,720
and resources to support remote collaboration.

849
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,960
They'll need to make sure that everyone feels connected

850
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,920
and included no matter where they are.

851
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,400
And then there's the issue of time zones, language barriers,

852
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,680
and cultural differences.

853
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:29,760
Those are real challenges.

854
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,200
It's a complex undertaking.

855
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,760
But Airbnb seems determined to make it work.

856
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:34,960
They're learning as they go.

857
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,680
And paving the way for other companies to follow their lead.

858
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,200
It's an exciting time to be part of this remote work

859
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:40,880
revolution.

860
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:41,440
It is.

861
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,280
OK, before we wrap up this section,

862
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,600
I want to bring it back to you, the listener,

863
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,600
in your job search.

864
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:47,680
Good idea.

865
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,880
How does this policy factor into your decision making?

866
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,200
That's a big question.

867
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,520
If you're someone who values flexibility and freedom,

868
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,920
this could be a huge draw for you.

869
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,320
Imagine being able to work from anywhere in the world

870
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,880
for three months out of the year.

871
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,280
It's an amazing opportunity.

872
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,560
But you also need to consider other factors.

873
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,240
Like salary, benefits, career growth, and company culture.

874
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,400
It's all about finding the right balance.

875
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,680
This work from anywhere policy is amazing.

876
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:15,360
It is.

877
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:17,040
But it's just one piece of the puzzle.

878
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:17,280
Right.

879
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:18,040
Do your research.

880
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,320
Consider all the angles.

881
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,000
And make an informed decision that's right for you.

882
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,760
Airbnb's work from anywhere policy is a game changer.

883
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:25,360
No doubt.

884
00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:28,840
But it's just one example of how the world of work is changing.

885
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,520
There are so many other companies out there embracing

886
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,040
this new way of working.

887
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,720
So explore your options.

888
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,400
Find what works best for you.

889
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,960
The future of work is flexible, global,

890
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,280
and full of possibilities.

891
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,440
It is.

892
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,200
Now let's wrap up this deep dive and leave you

893
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,840
with a final thought-provoking question.

894
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,960
OK, I like where this is going.

895
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,600
Imagine you land your dream job at Airbnb.

896
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:52,360
Awesome.

897
00:27:52,360 --> 00:27:54,560
And you have the opportunity to work from anywhere

898
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,240
in the world for 90 days a year.

899
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,320
The dream.

900
00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,440
Where would you go?

901
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:00,720
Oh, that's a good one.

902
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,000
What destinations would be at the top of your list?

903
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,520
So many possibilities.

904
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,960
How would you balance work with adventure and personal growth?

905
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:13,640
It's a chance to create a work life that's truly fulfilling.

906
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,040
So do your research.

907
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,440
Explore Airbnb.

908
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,600
See if it aligns with your vision for the future.

909
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,080
The future of work is here.

910
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,440
And it's full of potential.

911
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:21,800
Yeah.

912
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,720
So many amazing places to choose from, right?

913
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:24,240
Right.

914
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,000
It really gets you thinking about all the possibilities.

915
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:27,520
It does.

916
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,920
And it brings up another interesting point.

917
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:34,360
The potential impact this whole work from anywhere thing

918
00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:37,280
could have on society as a whole.

919
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:38,520
Oh, yeah, the ripple effect.

920
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:39,680
Exactly.

921
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,720
Imagine if people weren't tied to big cities for work anymore.

922
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,280
People could live wherever they wanted.

923
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:44,800
Right.

924
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,120
They could choose a place that matches their lifestyle,

925
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,600
their values, even the weather.

926
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,200
It could lead to a much more geographically diverse workforce.

927
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,760
I was just thinking that people might move to smaller towns,

928
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,640
rural areas, even different countries.

929
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,400
It could revitalize those communities.

930
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,120
Bring new energy and opportunities to places

931
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,320
that might have been overlooked before.

932
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,760
And think about the impact on local economies.

933
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,840
It's fascinating to consider, isn't it?

934
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,200
This isn't just about individual freedom anymore.

935
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,840
It's about reshaping communities.

936
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,360
Pioneering new ways of living and working.

937
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:18,720
It really is a whole new world.

938
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,400
But of course, there are challenges too.

939
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,400
There always are, right?

940
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,040
Like, access to reliable internet is crucial.

941
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,080
That's a big one.

942
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,040
And then there are visa restrictions, cultural differences,

943
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:28,720
things like that.

944
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,880
And how do you maintain a strong company culture when everyone

945
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,200
is spread out all over the place?

946
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,120
That's a good question.

947
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,720
How do you build a sense of community

948
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,120
when you're not physically together?

949
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,880
These are all things that companies like Airbnb

950
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,800
are figuring out as they go.

951
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,760
They're pioneers, in a way.

952
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,040
Experimenting, adapting, paving the way for others.

953
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,880
It's exciting to watch, but I think the potential benefits

954
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,200
outweigh the challenges.

955
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,200
I think so too.

956
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,880
I mean, the opportunity to design a work life that truly

957
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,400
aligns with your values, your passions.

958
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,200
It's empowering.

959
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,160
It's about more than just a job.

960
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,120
It's about creating a life you love.

961
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,000
Exactly.

962
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,400
So as you're thinking about Airbnb and their job

963
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,440
opportunities, remember to keep this broader perspective

964
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:14,400
in mind.

965
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,400
Don't just focus on the job title or the salary.

966
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,880
Think about the lifestyle it could offer,

967
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,160
the impact it could have on your life as a whole.

968
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,400
Ask yourself, where would I want to work from?

969
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,280
What kind of life would I want to build around my work?

970
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,720
Those are the important questions.

971
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,080
And remember, Airbnb is just one example.

972
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:32,400
Right.

973
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,440
There are so many other companies out there

974
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,000
embracing remote work.

975
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,600
The future of work is changing.

976
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:38,600
It's flexible.

977
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:39,440
It's global.

978
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:40,960
It's full of possibilities.

979
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,040
It's up to you to decide how you want to shape it.

980
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,480
Well said.

981
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,280
Well, I think that's a perfect note to end on.

982
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:48,040
I agree.

983
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,800
Thanks for joining us on this deep dive

984
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,200

Keep learning.

990
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,400
And keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

991
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:02,920
Absolutely.

992
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:23,680
And happy job hunting.
