Estée Lauder is Lurking for New Founders 👀
Filtering the internet's smartest opportunities you didn't know you needed (yet)...

In partnership with
👀 Estée Lauder is lurking for new founders → Their investment arm is quietly scouting the next big beauty brand (no big splashy announcement… very IFYKY). If you’re building something special, it might be time to get on their radar.
💖 Last-minute Mother’s Day PR opp → Posh Beauty Blog is curating a “save the day” gift guide (think digital, subscriptions, fast shipping). If your product can deliver fast, this is your moment: pitch Carla Snuggs right here.
💡 $10K for your “big idea” → Global Sisters is backing 10 women with $10K each + serious support to turn early ideas into real businesses. Pre-launch? Perfect. This is where it starts.
The best HR advice comes from people who’ve been in the trenches.
That’s what this newsletter delivers.
I Hate it Here is your insider’s guide to surviving and thriving in HR, from someone who’s been there. It’s not about theory or buzzwords — it’s about practical, real-world advice for navigating everything from tricky managers to messy policies.
Every newsletter is written by Hebba Youssef — a Chief People Officer who’s seen it all and is here to share what actually works (and what doesn’t). We’re talking real talk, real strategies, and real support — all with a side of humor to keep you sane.
Because HR shouldn’t feel like a thankless job. And you shouldn’t feel alone in it.
☕ Freelance Content Shooter @ Chamberlain Coffee (LA) → Shoot dreamy, aesthetic coffee + matcha content (no talking, no influencer energy). Think: vibes, lighting, and getting paid to romanticise your morning routine.
🍑 Talent Acquisition Specialist @ Sol de Janeiro ($70K–$80K, NYC) → Be the person behind the hires at one of the most viral beauty brands on the planet. Full-cycle recruiting + global teams + serious brand cache.
💸 Strategic Sales Specialist @ HubSpot ($150K–$190K, remote) → High-performer sales girlies, this is your bag. Close deals, flex your tech brain, and sell into one of the biggest SaaS ecosystems out there.
💅 Influencer brands just got a masterclass → Alix Earle is launching her acne-focused skincare line Reale Actives… but it’s the rollout that’s genius. Mystery account, built-in audience, VC backing (hello Skims investors)…
🚨 “A five-alarm fire” for women at work → Sheryl Sandberg is sounding the alarm on Silicon Valley’s bro-era comeback. DEI is getting rolled back, “masculine energy” is trending, and women’s progress? Stalling. Not the plot twist we asked for.
📱 Big Tech just got called out → A jury ruled Instagram + YouTube were designed to be addictive to kids (yes, really). $6M in damages… and this could be the first domino to fall.
