  how did they do it without soham [image]

  Soham Parekh question: nobody checks references any more? Or did he fake them? Because man did my job check my references

  Without the YC community this guy would still be operating and would have maybe never been caught The startup guild of YC is a necessary invention to help founders be more successful than they would be alone [image]

• @n0w00j @n0w00j on x

  why is everyone tweaking about this Soham Parekh guy? all i see is a hustler with a can-do attitude, alpha as fuck imo

• @markoa Marko Anastasov on x

  Annual compensation: CEO of Uber: $39.4M CEO of Apple: $74.6M CEO of Microsoft: $79.1M Meta AI researcher: $100M Soham Parekh: $133M

• @jonst0kes Jon Stokes on x

  Not joking: This guy is clearly a generational talent at crushing startup interviews, so why doesn't he pivot to coaching for that? He could make bank off his infamy with this move.

• @kenwattana Ken Wattana on x

  Soham Parekh is the Bonnie Blue of YC

• @deedydas Deedy on x

  Soham Parekh is just the tip of the iceberg, just like this Redditor pulling $800k a yr working 5 jobs. r/overemployed is a ~500k community where people just maniacally discuss this. There are 1000s of Soham Parekhs we don't know about. [image]

• @suhail @suhail on x

  Soham has reached out. His primary question: “Asking this as genuine advice since I do really love what I do, have I completely sabotaged my career? What can I do to improve my situation? I am also happy to come clean” Vox Populi, Vox Dei

  if your CEO doesn't have a soham parekh email in their inbox it's time to start polishing your resume [image]

• @trungtphan Trung Phan on x

  pretty sure Soham Parekh was the guy behind that wild “I have 10 fully remote engineering jobs” Hacker News post [image]

• @itsjustamar Amar Ghose on x

  The most impressive thing about this whole Soham Parekh thing is that he's managing to do all of this while being on the ZenMaid team retreat [image]

• @turnernovak Turner Novak on x

  LinkedIn is gonna melt when they hear about Soham Parekh next week

• @kristyt Kristy Tillman on x

  Are yall ready to talk about what this means about y'alls companies?

• @n0w00j @n0w00j on x

  please stop contributing to the Soham Parekh slander. it's inconveniencing my coworkers due to how common the name is. my manager and intern both have the same name and had to take the day off because of personal reasons.

• @harshithio @harshithio on x

  Got an email from Soham Parekh... Had back and forth via email - but his response time was too long and seemed only partly interested... When people try stuff like this they get exposed as the YC community is tight knit and everyone knows everyone! Play long term games! [image]

• @chrisjbakke Chris Bakke on x

  There's some town in India that just had its GDP significantly lowered because 22 companies just fired Soham Parekh as an engineer.

• @growing_daniel Daniel on x

  Microsoft just laid off 9,000 workers. All of them Soham Parekh

• @levie Aaron Levie on x

  @Suhail the world's first fully autonomous ai agent

• @dejavucoder Sankalp on x

  crazy that this guy just kept getting away with it at the interviews insane stuff [image]

• @ustechworkers @ustechworkers on x

  How did he get past the I-9 employment eligibility verification process?

• @anc_aesthetics @anc_aesthetics on x

  The question you should be asking after reading this is how an Indian named Soham Parekh was able to land dozens of tech jobs while American citizens are being fired en masse and top American graduates aren't even getting interviews.

• @suhail @suhail on x

  Not a joke. This is happening real time. This is the 3rd DM today about someone firing him. soham-gate [image]

• @suhail @suhail on x

  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.

• @immad @immad on x

  We (startups) need to create a system that tries to find people who do this: A) KYC everyone B) have some automated AI way of doing reference check C) keep private records of people trying to work multiple jobs. Wondering if Mercury should build this and give it away for free.

• @austen Austen Allred on x

  Must suck being an unemployed software engineer and realizing that Soham Parekh has been hired 79 times in the past 4 years

• @_opencv_ @_opencv_ on x

  This PSA says more about YC companies than Soham Parekh

• @armanddoma Armand Domalewski on x

  It turns out the reason so many CS grads are struggling to get a job is that a single man named Soham Parekh is personally working at all of them

• @chrisjbakke Chris Bakke on x

  Soham Parekh needs to start an interview prep company. He's clearly one of the greatest interviewers of all time. Easy couple million per year and less stressful than the scam he was running by working at 14 YC companies at a time and getting fired by all of them after 3 weeks.

• @rhyssullivan Rhys on x

  on soham parekh: he's either good enough to work all of these jobs and meet the bar, in which case why fire him and deprive yourself of a good employee or the companies that hire him are so mismanaged they don't see a guy doing 0 work either way is a self report

• @turnernovak Turner Novak on x

  VCs realizing 12 of their portfolio companies have founders named Soham Parekh [image]

• @phantomthread_d Soham Parekh on x

  Elon can work at 9 startups, Jamie Dimon can be on board of multiple companies but when you do it, it's ‘Scam’.

• @vasumanmoza Vas on x

  There are no LLMs it's just Soham Parekh responding to every query himself

  They Finally Found Their Perfect Hire.  He Was a Scammer.
