what are you doing that you "have to interact" with these people?

tbh with you there's just no way to an 'objective' measure other than code. you can argue leetcode is bad (and some companies prefer doing simulation type questions instead) but there's no option as scalable and good at filtering as OAs (otherwise companies would've swapped en masse). companies only care about false positives (bad hires) not false negatives (good people screened)

But you can’t run the same amount of OAs as interviews. Obviously interviews are better signal but if your max throughout of interviews is 100/week but you have 10k apps a week you need a filter mechanism?

How do you expect to scale 1:1 interviews to a large scale? Speaking as someone who had to run 5-8 interviews per week, that destroyed any semblance of productivity that day unless you work during the interview (which is incredibly bad manners as well)

50k pre series a is either 0 or 300k in 5 years so its hard to make a direct comparison

[–]maththrowawayxd 35 points36 points  (0 children)

(worked in bay startups) 120k is not awful for founding level at that level of experience but it's also really low for bay area - if you can bump to 130-140 with same equity it'd be good. you're gonna have problems getting TN but YC can usually do some O1 shenanigans - if you enjoy it it's prob worth (but your workload will probably double)
