Joining a startup in 2018 is probably one of the most stupid things one can do. The market is certainly oversatisfied at this point, so the risks increase, as well as the average bullshit from founders and investors one has to bear with (e.g. see Theranos). Sure, YC will continue as long as you can. I understand, you also just want to make money. But for an engineer it is much smarter now to join the biggest possible company, take all the benefits, build a small nest egg, and be active about switiching jobs every 2-5 years.
