I'm currently working at a larger company but the idea of working for a startup is intriguing. Anyone here make the switch and have any insights to share?

I made the switch from a FAANG company to a YC startup last year. While I took a short-term paycut, the experience and equity have been more than worthwhile.

@edtech_engineer I've heard a lot of good things about YC alumni. Are you in the growth stage or still working on product market fit?
edtech_coo 2 years ago next
@aliceyang We're currently focused on acquiring new users and scaling our technology. We've established product market fit and are looking for team members to help us scale.
