Don't invest in Ycombinator startups. Ycombinator is a pyramid scheme - saying this with all seriousness.
They claim gynormous valuations for unsubstantial businesses due to big initial financing rounds.
All funds that push Ycombinator early rounds use hot money from sale of shares of earlier Ycombinator companies that they get at discount - this is an industrialised pump and dump scheme on a grand scale

I suggest all sane recruiters to throw away anybody out of Russia/*stans with more than mandatory 2 year technical institute degrees. It requires a man to be particularly dumb to waste 6 or more years of productive life to get a degree with a net negative effect on his income.
In Russia up until very recently, all degrees only came as 6 years masters. Add that to a 55% higher education rate. Now you can understand why it is such a s***hole nation. In ran away out of it in horror, and never looked back.

Do you realize just how much more good do Tata and co. do to America, than big dot coms that run captive body shops with 5 to 25 times more devs abroad than in US. IBM is not called "Indian Business Machines" for nothing.
Almost all of devs working on search engine core and ML in American Google for example are glorified PMs and business analyst monkeys that send work orders to Eastern Europe
This is how it works: a business analyst runs into office with cries "build me that, that, and that", a PMs jumps from his chair and skypes Moscow office with an order "write me libs that do that, that, and that". Libs that are done in two weeks time, and they only have to be glued together by a junior dev monkey, " realising higher order business functions" and taking all credit. Ask any person who ran away from Google
>I can definitely see "computer programmer" applications changing to "IT Architect" or "DevOps Engineer" or "Systems Engineer" quickly -- which still leaves us IT folks out of any reform.
This is what Amazon uses, just see how much really weird job titles they advertise. In Russia there are just two computer jobs: a computer programmer, and a computer administrator. That's all to it.
In all normal countries, people count income as net per month. If you earn more that a burger flipper wage, you must know math.
Few reasons for Americans to calculate income on per month net basis:
1. In most normal countries, interest is compounded monthly. 2. In most normal countries, you can (and should) file tax returns monthly 3. Rent is monthly 4. Utility bills are monthly 5. All Americans with $5.3k and higher per month net income give away about 6% of their income as a negative interest loan without realising that. 6. USA will be a 34th province of Chicomia in 10 years time if things continue as they are
That's it. You can't state that more clearly than that +1
I lived in Western Canuckistan (Vancouver) for 5.5 years. I was lucky to land a 6.5k a month job as my first real job at the peak of "web 2.0" and social network mass hysteria.
Before starting a career, I was living for under 1k a month as a student there with no tuition, doin "codin 4 food" and appartment renovations like stuff with Bosnian guys. To my big surprise, a 6.5 fold increase in disposable income did not make me even a twofold improvement of my quality of living. Moving to downtown for job made me to dish out a 2k a month rent for an appartment with living room smaller than a bathroom that I had in Burnaby. 1/3 of my income just went away in tax. Claiming all and every possible expense in tax return only made me to have a month long conversations with CRA who denied me half the sum because I don't have "legal papers A,B, and C" which I simply can't get without paying a lawyer. I had to pay 200 bucks a week for basic groceries if I was shopping in downtown. I was only able to afford a meal in a restaurant once a week. 20 dollars for a light meal in Gastown, and 50 for anything decent. A dinner for two will cost you 120+ at minimum if you order wine.
In such conditions, thinking about a future is out of question.
P.S. for a city with 30% of population being Chinese, Vancouver has shittiest Chinese food possible. The very few normal places were $100 per meal Qilin, Glouchester that went down under new owners, and few "hole in the wall" places in Richmond which all went out of business.
Yes, with usd 4k income, you live better than in a Californiastan with 8k gross.
Just to live in the valley, or anywhere near a commercial centre you have to dish out half of your income.
To live in a Shenzhen suburb, in the newest piece of real estate, 5 minutes from a metro station will cost you usd 1k at maximum, and housing expense can be claimed back in a tax return for foreigners.
