About the events:
This is a series of events for Knowledge transfer from credible sources like books, credible authors, experts.
We all have this long list of videos we wish to watch, the audio book or podcast we want to tune in, the book we wanted to read. But in this fast-paced world, we often don't get around to it. So why not come together with great individuals and consume one piece at a time and discuss the content and learnings with others afterwards :)
For this event we are focusing on Vitaly Friedman's Design KPIs: From Insights to Impact Masterclass from IxDF.
Upcoming Watch parties and topics:

About Employed.world
Employed.world is a job seeker community in Germany. In the current job market there are many highly capable people finding it hard to navigate the market and often feeling that the journey is isolated. No matter if you are a junior, mid level, senior, new manager or even a leader. Imposter syndrome, self doubts and often a lack of support are among the many hurdles one faces. On the other hand we have so many professionals in UX and Product including working professionals, seniors, mentors who would be happy to share their experiences and help someone in need. So we are attempting to increase the interaction between these two groups through our events.
