* CareerVersusFamily: A variation. Part of Jules's angst is about hiring a CEO so she'd have less work to do and therefore more time for her family. It moves into deconstruction territory where Jules is told by other characters that if she has problems at home, less work won't automatically solve them, and she is vital to the running of her own company.

** Almost halfway through the movie, Ben reveals to Jules that her company just happens to be located in the same building where he previously worked. There's not even a hint of this up until that point, and it never gets mentioned again.
** It is very briefly forshadowed at the start of the film. When first seeing a flyer asking for interns, Ben observes the address and off-handedly says "Isn't that the one on-" before being cut off. Clearly Ben knew the address and that was why he wanted the internship: he knew full well it was his old place of work.

* HighPoweredCareerWoman: Downplayed with Jules. As a startup founder with runaway success, while she can be demanding, preoccupied, and is passionate about her business, Jules is also scattered and encourages a casual workplace, constantly running 1-2 hours behind. Ben encourages her to relax a bit and be more open with her employees, but due to Cameron encouraging her to hire an outside (notably male) CEO to take over, she struggles with the CareerVersusFamily question of giving up control of her business in order to spend more time with them.
