Experience with Y Combinator
Has anyone applied to YC? If yes what was your experience, what all have you done before applying to YC? What was your market segment? Any other stories and gyaan related to applying and working with YC please!
Hey guys, I needed some serious advice, I am a SDE with 2 years of experience, I recently switched to a new mid sized company in Bangalore and the work culture is very good there are also good benefits, but there's nothing much in the learning perspective, I'm getting an offer from a YC startup for a founding team and it's in Delhi closer to my home but I'll also get a raise from my current and a hell lot of learning but I'm worried if it would be worth it? Leaving a stable company and going for YC?
It sounds like great money at first, then you actually realise how different it is. Founding Team is really tough, takes alot of your time and you’ll have no benefits or certainty.
I’d say only join if you believe in the company and are getting equity/esops, if the idea keeps you excited, you’d do well
They're offering equity and some esops, and the founder is young approximately my age, I know him though my friend. It'll be like some young grads going out to make something.

The title speaks for itself.
As a fresher, should I focus only on developing my experience or should I care about funding, number of employees and all that stuff?
By the way this startup is a part of YC.

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 s...
I have been on this journey for a long time now. Lots of failure comes with loads of learning. Each step or initiative I took has helped me grow as a person, the business guy (ed-tech, media space), and also in terms of technicalities (f...
