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

00:00:58,760 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

00:01:26,120 --> 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

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

00:03:03,200 --> 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?

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 -->

00:06:42,880 --> 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:11:02,000 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

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 -->

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

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 -->

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 -->

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

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

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?

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 -->

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
