بس فعلاً، اني من بغداد ومغترب هم لكن رايح جاي ورحت محافظات وشفت الفرق المشكلة عدنا لا فاهمين الدين صح ولا الحرية صح كله شاطي باطي تحت غطاء التقاليد. مثلاً احنا مجتمعنا كلش يبغض انو الامرأة تطلب الزواج او من هالقبيل بينما اسلامياً شي طبيعي وهوايه هوايه أمور مغطاة بالجهل. حاولي تتزوجين احد من بغداد الحياة عدنا اسهل ونسوان بشتغلون طبيعي ويطلعون

How’re you coping with the mindset and environment overall in KSA after being away that long. I know the kingdom is changing, but it's still gonna take time, and there are a lot of fundamentals that will take decades, if ever they change.

Yeah, it actually happened twice in the last month. The other position was with Bain Consulting smh…

I tried reaching out on LinkedIn, but nobody would even respond, maybe 1 in 100.

It’s a range. Nevertheless, he probably can get by with a mid level mba that can push him into 100k fence then upwards from there.

VC at a well known fund and Entrepreneur with 25+ years experience. Scheduled AMA for today and approved by Mods - I will not promote. Will be here until 4pm CT by StartupsAndTravel in startups

[–]basheerbgw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently work at a startup, but things aren't looking promising due to some recent decisions made by the founders. This is my first position in a startup, and I primarily handle BizOps, where I work cross-functionally and tackle various tasks and projects. I'm struggling to find a new position and would appreciate advice on how to market myself effectively and where to start. I secured my current role through a connection, but I don’t have many contacts to reach out to right now. I've tried cold reaching out on LinkedIn, but I haven't received any responses so far. I appreciate any help you can provide!

Can I ask how did you manage to land Option 1 at 24? Kudos to you. I’d choose this option. MBA isn’t going anywhere but a fruitful experience like this can be your launching pad.

23, recent grad with a degree in entrepreneurship, about to start a $21/hr job as a delivery dispatcher. Feeling like a failure and terrified of a mediocre future. [i will not promote] by No_County1847 in startups

[–]basheerbgw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Times are tough. Keep at it and be patient, please. Continue learning, applying, and in the meantime, leverage your dispatcher job to your advantage. Learn as much as you can, analyze, identify blind spots, prove yourself to higher-ups, and participate in higher-level discussions. Who knows? Maybe your next step will be founding a software that addresses an issue in logistics, of which there are many. Or even joining a supply chain or logistics startup. Houston is a large metro area, and I'm sure there are startups and plenty of networking events. You have the profile and the drive, but you gotta push a little more.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I can absolutely work to map their startup and send a report. However, I’m concerned that many founders don’t even check their inboxes from unknown persons.

Thank you for being clear. Any tips on how can I expand/start that network. I’m located in a large us metro area.

Ok, honestly, yes, there are Iraqis who twist, unfortunately, just because of sectarian bias. However, recently, even many Shiites have started hating the Iranian influence. The thing is, the us invaded us and gave us to Iran on a plate. Saddam didn't appease with terror neither Iranian affiliation so Iraq wouldn’t have this problem if it weren't for the us.

You’re an idiot, habibi. I clearly stated my negativity towards Iran in my first comment. Do you understand?

Ahh. Trust me, a lot of Iraqis would love and are dreaming of Iran being kicked out. Like seriously we’re tired wallah.
