How to get a job at a startup after graduating college
by Jamie Jones and Hesam Panahi
You want to join a startup after college but you don't know where to start.
Start here.
We've created a cheat sheet of best practices from students who have been hired at startups.
We interviewed students who landed jobs in startups after graduating.
Here's what we heard:
"It's hard to find a role/position but there is a direct correlation to the amount of work you put into networking and the job you will end up finding. "
"Think about the opportunities and upside not what the cash flows are in the current moment. You’ll make less than peers but have equity stake in the company."
