Episode 186: Special Podcast; Layoffs, State of the Industry and Getting a New Job

Jobs in the streaming industry are disappearing, and for many, getting a new job will be hard. By my estimates, the streaming industry is in the midst of 50,000 job cuts. Since my LinkedIn posts (https://lnkd.in/p/gKvAFYJC) detailing the layoffs, I’ve gotten hundreds of messages from those at WBD, Paramount, Disney, Roku, NBCU/Sky, etc.

This special podcast shares what I am hearing and explains the root causes driving the large volume of layoffs in the streaming industry. We also share tips and practical advice on what your LinkedIn profile should say, mistakes we see people making, and ways to set yourself up for success in securing a new position.
