Everyone deserves to get paid for their time, work, and energy. This is for people tired of scrolling dead links, hearing nothing back, and trying to survive NYC while job searching at the same time. A lot of people are exhausted right now, so I organized this space to make the process feel clearer and easier to move through.

I want this space to genuinely support people in a real way, so I made a short anonymous feedback form to better understand what people need more of right now. Only I can see the responses.

Anonymous Feedback

Below is a preview of this week’s openings. The full list includes active NYC roles across creative, media, operations, education, marketing, and support work with direct links and organized categories.

If you want access to the full drop, scroll to the bottom of this post. The subscription is $5/month and helps support the time it takes to manually sort, verify, and organize these opportunities every week while investing back into your own future.
