5 emails a week is only 260 a year. That's fewer companies than a single YC intake. I don't think it'd be hard to write a LinkedIn profile that matches positions at most startups (a few popular languages, interests in trendy tech, open to remote or in a popular location, senior skillset with lower years experience maybe indicating good-but-cheap). That would get you lots of recruitment attention. It doesn't mean anything is odd in the startup market (but obviously it doesn't mean everything is fine either, it just isn't a strong signal either way).
- hackernewds 5y ago260 a year is a lot since a single there is a huge pool of candidates, and you really just need 1 of them to fill a position. in my experience, the pendulum has swung towards the candidates having leverage and ghosting. 2008 and even 2013 did not seem so.
- mostertoaster 5y agoI both hate and love the startup market. It seems to be ruled by the mighty dollar, yet is like a force of crazy strength in its ability to naturally select out the strongest. Sometimes that strength is existing connections and money, though there are those rare times where a truly novel idea breaks free, a truly beautiful design, or something truly good is made. Is that worth the evil it does? I don’t know, let the capitalists and socialists fight it out. I for one will try and be like a hobbit.
