The list I share with friends

Laszlo’s 100

Friends often ask me where they should work next. These are my personal picks: exceptional people, ambitious work, and room to learn, grow, and accelerate your career.

I put them in one place so they’re easy to share. I hope you find a few you hadn’t considered.
