The girlies are feeling… optimistic? Carefully. Cautiously. Against our better judgment. This week, we’ve got good news to share — but first, Syd recounts her near-miss with immigrating to the Netherlands (spoiler: she’s not going Dutch after all). What changed everything? The very real possibility of opening our own Birdie & Hale brick-and-mortar and leaning fully into entrepreneurship.

We also clock the rise of millennial career crisis content (groundbreaking!), talk chasing stability in a collapsing job market, and reflect on what it means to build something of your own when corporate ladders are on fire. Hope, panic, side hustles, and cautious delusion — just another week on LinkedOut.

We’re back, baby. First episode of the new year and we’re fresh off the holidays, multiple time zones, and one truly heroic amount of schlepping (hi New York, hi Holland). Syd returns with the ending to the interview saga you’ve been emotionally invested in — from 700 applicants to 3 finalists… and yet, somehow, still no job. Curious! We ask for answers. We receive none. What we do get: an influx of deeply unsolicited, wildly unhelpful career advice (should we simply… write a book?).

Meanwhile, we’re wondering if all the hotties have abandoned white-collar work for the trades — electricians, call us — and plotting our next move. Spoiler: we’re doubling down on the side hustle, staying delusional, and teasing more chaos next week. Stay tuned.

Syd somehow survives the corporate gauntlet yet again—making it to Round 2 of a job with 700+ applicants (we’re calling it a miracle). Brit gets ghosted by a company that asked for “more examples”… of the exact examples she already sent, so she pivots to the noble profession of dog babysitting. Syd’s dad recommends she storm a steel factory and demand employment like it’s 1974. Meanwhile, the OpenAI guy goes on Fallon and casually suggests we’ll all be working in space soon (amazing, thank you, so helpful!). The girlies also celebrate a shockingly successful holiday pop-up for their kids’ clothing brand. It’s delusion, resilience, and job-market chaos per usual.
