Editor’s note: Every week we ship an email newsletter featuring the region’s most exciting career opportunities. We’ve lovingly called it This Week in Jobs (aka TWIJ — “twidge.”). Below is this week’s edition; it’s meant to live in your inbox. Sign up for the newsletter here.


For many schools, this week marks spring break. The days are getting a little longer, and who knows, it might not snow again this year.

While you might not be headed to a crowded beach to pile into an Airbnb, can you take a “brain-cation” this week? We all know time off is an essential tool to combat burnout, and even cultivating a vacation mindset at home could help you relax.

So whether that means wearing flip flops around the house, sneaking in a cat nap, or drinking a piña colada from the comfort of the couch, try for a touch of “Out of Office” mindset this week — that is after you check out TWIJ, of course.

The News

Green energy company GridPoint is seeing green, too. The DMV-area startup just saw one of the region’s largest deals in 2022 via a $75 million investment round (and a hiring spree coming soon).

Instead of relying on pre-made templates, bootstrapping founders can turn to Start.Law, a subscription-based service for legal and accounting services.
