Work at a StartupJune 17 2010, 6:00-7:30 pm | Y Combinator, 320 Pioneer Way, Mountain View Learn about Working at a Startup If you're like a lot of programmers you may have considered one day joining a startup. But the prospect probably seems a bit mystifying. Most people know what the deal is with working for a big company. What's the deal with working for a startup? Work at a Startup is a special evening event designed to explain that. How can you tell whether a startup would be good to work for? How much salary and equity should you expect from startups at different stages? What's the work like at different types of startups? Are there any danger signs you should watch for? We'll answer all these types of questions. We'll begin with a presentation that explains in general what you need to know about working for a startup. Then we'll have series of rapid-fire presentations by YC-funded companies currently looking to hire programmers, explaining what it would be like to work for them specifically. We'll conclude with a reception where you can talk one on one with the founders of any company that interested you. The event is free, but since more programmers may want to attend than we have room for, we're asking would-be attendees to apply by submitting a resume. Founders of presenting companies will read them and decide who to invite. The application deadline was May 25. We'll issue invitations June 1. Partial List of Presenting Companies
