But what about joining a startup in this economy? We’re obviously biased, but we think it’s a great time to join a startup too. Here are three reasons to consider: Impactful job opportunities are available at YC startups. Despite other companies pulling back on hiring in 2022, YC startups added 2.1K jobs on <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.ycombinator.com/jobs?utm_source=ycblog\%22>our hiring platform</a>, with 410 added in January 2023 alone. The biggest categories were in engineering (35%), sales (17%), operations (15%), and marketing (13%). And more than 1,100 YC startups were active on YC’s hiring platform in January. Many of the roles are for early engineers/employees, so you’ll have a chance to shape the product, best practices and company culture early on. On average, YC startups are in a better position to be hiring. YC startups raise an average $2-4M after going through the YC program. But despite this, we still tell them to <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://techcrunch.com/2022/05/19/yc-advises-founders-to-plan-for-the-worst//">“plan for the worst”</a> – and that includes saving money and only hiring if they absolutely need to. So as a job seeker, you’ll find that YC founders are generally smarter about their cash, watch their burn closely, and have put more thought into who to hire – for their benefit and yours. (And if you don’t know these terms or want to learn how to ask, read <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.ycombinator.com/blog/how-to-pick-the-right-startup-to-work-for/">our advice here</a>.)Big tech might not offer the stability or purpose that it used to. 3.1x new job seekers joined our hiring platform (comparing June 2022 to January 2023), with a strong increase in people coming from FAANG. People tell us that they don’t equate big tech with stability anymore, and they’re looking for more personal meaning and clarity of mission in their next role. YC has been investing in a wide range of startups – from <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/nira-energy/jobs?utm_source=ycblog\%22>climate to <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/whatnot/jobs?utm_source=ycblog\%22>collectibles to <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/astroforge/jobs?utm_source=ycblog\%22>asteroid mining</a> – so you can find one that aligns with your passions and interests. (And if you don’t find one, just <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/blog/author/\"mailto:workatastartup@ycombinator.com/">email us</a> for recommendations.)Maybe you’ve been playing it safe in your career, and it’s time to try something more exciting and mission driven. Or maybe you’ve had a setback given the current economic climate and want to see what’s out there. Either way, we hope you consider a startup – and particularly a YC one. There are thousands of open roles at startups (seed, growth, and even scale) on <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"http://ycombinator.com/jobs?utm_source=ycblog\%22>YC%e2%80%99s hiring platform</a>. And our founders could use your help building new frontier tech, building their companies that will last, and making things that people want. Let’s go build the future.","comment_id":"63f6c745d2b0220001e8d6cc","feature_image":"/blog/content/images/2023/02/BlogTwitter-Image-Template--5-.png","featured":true,"visibility":"public","email_recipient_filter":"none","created_at":"2023-02-22T17:54:13.000-08:00","updated_at":"2023-02-23T08:00:00.000-08:00","published_at":"2023-02-23T08:00:00.000-08:00","custom_excerpt":"Now is as good a time as any to start a startup – especially if you get into YC.

startup hiring looks like in 2021 — and during a pandemic","slug":"what-startup-hiring-looks-like-in-2021-and-during-a-pandemic","html":"When we first created <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.workatastartup.com//">Work at a Startup</a> in 2018, our goal was to eliminate friction in finding a job at a startup. Our initial thesis was to build a common application to apply to many YC companies at once. It quickly became the most efficient way to meet multiple founders and have a more natural conversation to find a job.Since then, we’ve collected a lot of data about the startup job landscape, and the changing needs of both job seekers and our founders. We wanted to share some trends we’ve seen over the last year that show where we’ve been – and inform where we’re going as a product.<h2 id=\"startup-hiring-was-resilient-amid-a-volatile-2021\">Startup hiring was resilient amid a volatile 2021</h2>The number of jobs on our platform exploded in 2021 with 7,300 jobs posted – even despite the uncertainty of a global pandemic. That was 4.5x growth from the prior year, and 10x from when we started. And now, there are over 1,200 startups across a wide range of industries: tech, bio, logistics, media, and many more.Part of this growth has to do with our increased batch sizes. But another part is a reflection of the resilience and adaptability of our startups. While hiring nearly stopped at the beginning of the pandemic (much to our guidance of frugality and “being a cockroach”), our startups came back strong. And by September 2020, we saw a record number of hires.It is equally important to us to do right by job seekers: we’ve spent countless hours vetting startups and founders to make sure each one is in a great position to hire – well funded, early traction, and clarity of what to build next. The result of which is a job platform that showcases some of the most resilient and business-minded startups you’ll find anywhere.<h2 id=\"digital-nomads-are-the-new-startup-workforce\">Digital nomads are the new startup workforce</h2>While 2020 was the year of WFPJs<a>1</a>, 2021 was when digital nomads became a real thing. Last year, a massive 82% of job seekers on the platform looked for remote work – up from 15-20% pre-pandemic. Startup jobs also moved in the same direction: remote jobs grew 6.4x in the last year, and now 69.5% of all jobs are remote or remote-friendly.Not surprisingly, the changing landscape meant that our startups looked worldwide for talent: hires were made in over 40 countries. And while the common belief is that companies hire abroad to lower costs, we’ve already started seeing the opposite. Some of our international startups are hiring US-based talent in IC and even leadership positions.Lastly, our smaller startups (< 50 people) were quicker to adapt to remote, moving to fully remote a good 6+ months ahead of our larger ones. With better HR infrastructure like <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/deel/">Deel and <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/pilot/">Pilot, both tools to onboard and pay employees wherever they are, we expect our startups to continue to adapt to the changing landscape.<h2 id=\"waiting-for-founders-to-contact-you-isn%E2%80%99t-always-the-best-way\">Waiting for founders to contact you isn’t always the best way</h2>Last year, we saw a whopping 150,000 messages sent on our platform, at a 4.5x YOY growth. 53% of first contact messages were sent by a founder to a job seeker. And our founders are equally responsive to interested candidates: some companies kept up a 60% response rate to inbound applications.One thing we’ve learned, however, is that job seekers with high agency made it happen: 25% of new hires in 2021 were initiated by the candidate. To help them, we need to give more signals and tools to help them find “the one” — by size, funding, team makeup, and even the interview process. On that last point, our team works hard to teach founders how to hire with transparency and candidate experience top of mind, and we aim to build this more into the platform.<h2 id=\"how-can-we-help-in-2022\">How can we help in 2022?</h2>At YC, we tell founders to make something people want. We operate by this same mantra at YC’s Work at a Startup, and we’re seeing early signs of success – 600 people found jobs through our platform last year, at a clip of 1.5 per day. While that’s a drop in the bucket for larger companies, we know that a great hire at an early startup can be transformative – and be the difference maker in building the next Instacart or Dropbox.And while it’s easy to just monitor metrics, building this platform has become closer to my heart. My own friends and former colleagues have found jobs on the platform: first a designer at a pre/seed startup, then an engineering manager at a Series C growth company, and later a CTO of a biotech startup. Similarly, our founders trust us to help build their teams. Yin Wu, founder at <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/pulley/">Pulley, called our hiring platform “one of the best things about YC.” That’s high praise, and we aim to help out even more.Reflecting on 2021, we are thankful for every single person who has given us a shot — checked out the site, met with founders, possibly found a job, or even just sent us an email for feedback. We’re still learning, and we’re here to build the best way for you to find your next job — and just maybe something as resilient as our most enduring startups.<hr>1 Work from pajamas

to pick the right startup to work for","slug":"how-to-pick-the-right-startup-to-work-for","html":"I talk to a lot of people who are trying to figure out which startup to join. I want to share some of the advice I’ve been giving, and I hope it helps you navigate your own job search.\nAsk about the company’s runway, burn rate and plans for future funding.\nA company’s runway is the number of months that it has until it runs out of money. This can be determined by a number of things, including the amount of funding it raised, the amount of revenue it generates, and the expenses (or “burn”) it has in operating the business on a monthly basis.\nThere is no right or wrong answer — it really depends on your risk tolerance. But you probably want a startup that has enough runway to both endure the downturn and also raise its next round of funding.\nAlso note that while cash-flow positive businesses are in a good position to weather this storm, even startups like Stripe endured the 2009 recession, despite being largely unprofitable at the time.\nAsk how the business is adapting to this new economic environment.\nWhile many startups might falter during a tough economy, it’s important to consider which might thrive as a result of changed consumer behavior or market opportunities. A few examples:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.workatastartup.com/directory/994/">Outschool (W16)</a> offers online classes for homeschooled children, which used to be a small minority of American kids and overnight became the majority. </li>\n<li><a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.workatastartup.com/directory/1208/">Farmstead (S16)</a> and <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.workatastartup.com/directory/989/">Tovala (W16)</a> are delivering more food and groceries than ever before.</li>\n<li><a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.workatastartup.com/directory/1884/">Curebase (S18)</a> and <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.workatastartup.com/directory/729/">Ginkgo Bioworks (S14)</a> have invested in products to support <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.ycombinator.com/covid/">COVID-19 response and research</a>.</li>\n</ul>\nAs you speak with founders during the interview process, ask how the economy has impacted their business (for worse or for better) and what they’re doing to adapt so they come out strong on the other side.\nAssess the founders, not just their answers.\nWe tell YC founders to be very transparent with candidates during the interview process. We feel this is important to build trust early on, and the trust will be reciprocated when they hire great employees who can use information to make strong business/product/engineering decisions.\nAs you interact with the founders and team, look for answers to your questions that are thoughtful and balanced — revealing both the pros and the cons of any scenario. You’re likely to get more detail as you get to the end of the interview process (the company has more invested in you at that point), so take the opportunity to ask questions throughout the process.\n<hr />\nJoining a startup isn’t for everyone, and the above should help you better assess the startup you are considering. Go in with thoughtful questions, and hopefully you will walk away with trust in the founders to make good, thoughtful decisions — about the business, the product, the customers who use it and the team you work with to build it.\nIf you’re looking for your next role, you can fill out a profile at <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.workatastartup.com/">Work at a Startup</a> to view YC startups that are actively hiring.

We’ve vetted these startups to make sure they’re in a good position to hire — in terms of funding, strong teams and impactful products to work on. At the event, we’ll have the founders give rapid-fire pitches about themselves and their companies, and then follow-up with an event hall for you to meet them virtually. It’s a good way to survey top YC startups all at once, instead of having to seek them out yourself.\nAmong the 40+ startups attending this year’s event are:\n<ul>\n<li>Avenue (W21). PagerDuty for operations teams, founded by engineers from Uber and Amazon.\n<li>Diahook (W21). Webhooks as a service, with reliability and security built in.\n<li>ModernLoop (W21). Automated interview scheduling, founded by those previously at Facebook, Slack and Brex.\n<li>Shef (W19). Airbnb for food, with authentic, homemade dishes delivered to your door.\n<li>Welcome (W20). Lets you create virtual events that feel like an Apple Keynote.\n</ul>\nIf you’re considering a job change — or just curious about what’s out there — we welcome you to create a profile and apply to join us for an informative and efficient evening of networking with founders, job hunting or seeing if startups are for you.\nView the companies and apply: <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.workatastartup.com/events/startup-tech-expo-summer-2021/">https://www.workatastartup.com/events/startup-tech-expo-summer-2021
