Is it not a known fact here that when you hire a "person" on upwork you are actually hiring a little dev sweatshop whose frontend is that person? This whole Soham thing is just that but with YC.

PSA: there’s a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He’s been preying on YC companies and more. Beware.

I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying / scamming people. He hasn’t stopped a year later. No more excuses.

My friend who runs an engineering team at a large corporate said the Soham Parekh issue has been a big problem for them too.

These people essentially apply for whatever jobs they can get, and then run dev shops and farm out the work to locals who can’t get FAANG jobs or have https://t.co/ZZnOwYahSK

Everyone just wishes it was them. 🤣

Tbh I think the main outrage is. ‘How this guy get so many jobs. I can’t even get an interview’

you probably don’t think about liquidity enough // it is what it is  // build value, not valuation

Same on toptal. One guy who has a great profile becomes a dev agency unbeknownst to the people 'he' works for.

Here’s the real YC secret
