Ah yes, the "startup you work at".

Well, I'm probably full for the moment, but a startup that I know is bleeding some in my neck of the woods is MasteryConnect. Chop chop chop. Domo is not looking good, but they probably have money to survive for a bit.

I interviewed at MasteryConnect 2 years ago and their business model seemed doomed.

Yeah, I don't really get it either. Know a couple people laid off from there. They'd hired a bunch of kids from a coding bootcamp, and there was a serious bloodbath amongst them. An interesting case study-- seems like it shook out that there were definitely bootcamp grads that could hack it, but without the four year college filter they needed to do a big cull. Some of the campers are in and will stay in, most will wash out in a downturn. Same as it ever was, I suppose.
