Oh, I misunderstood what you said; apologies. And I don't know if you're right; I work at a startup, and my search was almost exclusively relegated to VC-backed companies; in fact, manyt of my friends at startups went through a similar thou

I don't really see it as a complaint. I'm just mirror-ing what I hear from a lot of people I went to school with; I work at a startup now and I love it. But I know that to attract the "ivy league" talent, or any talent for that matter, it i
