Should DRS be introduced in YC applications as well ?

Which YC funded Indian startups have been successful over the years? Successful = Profitable / Growing Revenue YoY with necessary burn / Dominant Market share. The Indian startups accepted list seems to have increased to a handful every year, but don't see any of them creating the impact that one expects from businesses selected by a seed platform that prides itself on extreme scrutiny for all applicants. Where do you think is the gap? American understanding of Indian business models / consumers / market or somewhere else?

So did you guys fill out YC application for S24 batch? I'm pretty curious to know anyone planning to go in with a product which already has been funded by YC. And does YC backs up competition?

I have worked at a YC startup and a non-YC one (Nexus backed). From my experiences YC one had very good work culture and business growth was rapid too. But Nexus backed startup gave me significant raise (10LPA to 18LPA). But the sample size is extremely low to conclude anything. Also, whenever a YC backed company’s recruiter reaches me out, he or she is delighted to see a YC tag in my resume. But some recruiters give zero Fs. Few dont even know YC. So, 1. Does a YC tag generally mean the startup is of higher in quality (work culture, team dynamics, business outlook etc.)? 2. Is a YC tag a plus point on resume while switching?

willl try my best to be honest, ask me anything

Hi All, I gave my first round of interviews. Answered all the questions and also completed the app which was half built... Was asked to show data in the recycler view. The only no was from me for a question that I know Jetpack compose or not. So has Jetpack Compose become a mandatory skill nowadays ? Seeking for feedback and open for suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys Have Uber interviews lined up this week for the DS position in the CAS team. Did any one of you attended the process recently ? If you could describe your interview process and type of questions asked that would be great Cheers

I received a call and a subsequent HRank test for this company Lytx. There was a DSA problem where: For a given MxN matrix containing only 1s or 0s, we had to identify the minimum number of left or right cyclical shifts required on the row for getting at least 1 column with all ones. Sample Input: ['1001,'0101,'0000'] I used chat gpt and still couldn't figure out an exact solution, leave aside solving it on my own. Question for the community: Say they select me for a further round anyways, will the interview as well be this brutal in terms of DSA ? Are these companies expecting programming prodigies or am I just not there in terms of my problem solving journey ? Hoping for some brutally honest responses.

How was your interview and what sort of traction do you already have Had applied did not get in or called for an interview
