#hiringfriday 01.12.24 - no longer new edition

Happy 2024! New Year’s Eve is officially in the rearview mirror, and we’re back to work (or whatever JPM is considered). I’ve spent the past couple of weeks with acute Attiaphobia, defined as the fear that you will suffer a precipitous decline in healthspan if you don’t change your habits immediately. I’m joking - Outlive is an excellent read, filled with evidence, important thinking about the role of prevention in modern medicine, and useful advice. It’s actually been one of my go-to gifts this holiday season.

But combined with the expected death of a family member in her late 90s, I’ve started this year thinking a lot about what happens when our measures to extend life and health fail. No one likes to talk about it, but as millennials age, it’s becoming more and more a part of our lives. My prediction for 2024 is that we’re going to see more entrepreneurs and funders talking about, building in, and investing in things related to end of life. We saw some of this in 2023 with Empassion, Guaranteed, Gracye, and other companies, but I expect this to only become more of a focus in 2024. So if you’re job searching, it could be a meaningful, if difficult place to look for roles. 

Wishing all of you meaningful work in 2024, wherever you may be in your employment lifespan.
