Image for the article

Mary decided to visit BaronHR’s office in Carson, California, to inquire about a position in-person.

Image for the article

The six-month period provides ample time to look beyond the sushi and scenery and build connections to identify opportunities in the country’s growing startup ecosystem Japan welcomed 3.1 million visitors in June, setting a record for monthly tourist visits, and that boom looks set to continue. Most of those visitors are drawn by the usual reasons to visit—the food, the rich culture that fuses the traditional and the modern, and the natural beauty—but Japan is also looking to attract high-paying knowledge workers through its new Digital Nomad Visa, introduced in March this year. This six-month visa, twice the length of a standard tourist visa, allows remote workers to immerse themselves in an underexplored facet of Japan, its growing startup ecosystem

Brick Stowell spent years photographing the landmark music group Odd Future. Now, he’s sharing the intimate images for the first time. Tyler the Creator. Frank Ocean. Earl Sweatshirt. Lionel Boyce.

As we bundle up and prepare for the slew of holidays that lie ahead, many of us will be confronted with the awkward tensions of family and social media.
