Abundance Mindset Opportunities
Want to sponsor or be featured in this newsletter? Let me know here.
The Abundance Mindset Guide has evolved over time, but its mission remains the same, to help you level up!
This year, my #1 goal is to help you Thrive Now by getting your mindset right and helping you get closer to your purpose. That way, when you raise your hand for new opportunities, you’ll know with 100% certainty that they’re the right fit for you.
To stay focused on this work, the Opportunities portion of this newsletter (what you’re reading right now!) will now only be featured once a month, allowing me to pour even more into the Thrive Now resources that will support your growth in 2025.
Now, let’s dive into this month’s opportunities that have crossed my feed + network.
Dream Company Dupe: Retool
Stop chasing (and getting rejected by) your dream companies. Let me introduce you to my concept: The Dream Company Dupe.
Just like a great fashion or beauty dupe gives you the same quality and experience without the brand name, a Career Dupe lets you pursue your passions without waiting for FAANG to call.
Today we’re talking about Retool. It’s a Dream Company Dupe for Microsoft. Similar innovation and goals, smaller teams, more ownership.
What They Do: Retool makes it easier for engineers to build custom, internal software. There goal is to make software faster, cheaper, and more enjoyable to build.

Health Benefits: Flexible options for medical, vision, dental, life insurance, and disability benefits.
Retirement Planning: 401(k) plan enrollment with matching up to an effective rate of 4% for U.S.-based employees.
Paid Time Off: Unlimited vacation policy.
Parental Support: 16 weeks for maternity leave and 12 weeks for paternity leave, along with a $10,000 lifetime benefit towards fertility support.
Professional Development: An annual $1,200 stipend for learning-related expenses, such as books, conferences, and classes.
Office Perks: Fully stocked kitchens with free breakfast, lunch, and dinner at San Francisco and New York offices; pet-friendly environment; and relocation assistance.
Wellness Programs: Access to mental health benefits, wellness programs, and memberships to support personal and professional well-being.
