Accepted and ghosted: interviewing for a leadership position at Stripe

I’ve personally conducted business with Patrick, and integrity isn’t a term I’d associate with him. Most polite term I can think of would be “shrewd”.

I don't think integrity fits into any of the metrics that you have to report to YC.

At least they ask founders to be not mean [0] and specifically be nice [1] but do ask them to be relentless [2] and formidable [3], which may come off as shrewd?

YC has pretty strong ethical guidelines for founders and people have been removed from YC for violating them, so I'm not sure where you're coming from with that, unless it's just a cheap shot.

It's not YC specific but systemic sadly.

Then its a pity, and an opportunity to improve or move aside for an organisation that does (and stronger ethics reputation for graduates thereof.)

Please do not post nationalistic or ethnic slurs to HN. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for. That should be obvious if you're familiar with the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html - would you please review them?

As someone who has had to face casual racism like this a lot due to being Indian, please take these casually racist tropes somewhere else. It's not okay.
