SFP Decisions are out!

Good luck to all who got rejected and congrats to those who made it to the next step. We got rejected also, kind of expected since admittedly we were more interested in seeing what startup life was like than our actual idea.

My partner and I are off to Silicon Valley anyway for jobs, however the Y-Combinator process has made us hungrier then ever to ultimately do something on our own.

I'm going to make sure Google doesn't remain a "blackhole" as PG described it :)

Hey, where are you networking to find jobs out there?

I have a lot of experience, but not a complete degree. I live in Texas currently, so I have no real "ins" out in Silicon Valley.

I want to get into either a startup or a job less time-consuming than my current one. The first gives me startup experiences, while the latter gives me time to work on my own projects.

Any tips would be GREATLY appreciated.

If you're a programmer, there's no need for having an 'in'. There's plenty of work. Just show up.

And when it comes time to negotiate salary or rate remember that they need to be paying you quite a lot more than you were making in Texas.
