yes I do, and I lie about having 3 yoe instead of 1

>founders
I'd rather work at McDonald's than a startup anon, and I actually have done that already. Three times, they all made me go through a take-home "interview" which I could tell was just solving one of their core problems.

>funded AI bullshit startup
made me write a FUSE driver in C with specific requirements, after I did and demo'd it, he kept asking questions until I told him that I completed his task and he should give me an answer now. He ghosted me then.

>funded drone startup
gave me a problem input and asked to optimize a path to get the optimal score. Optimization is my bread and butter, I formally proved that his score was not the optimal score and I wrote a genetic algo that gave me a better score. Once again, took my solution and rejected me on account of "not being a good fit"

>another ai bullshit
by then I was already jaded about startups, I just refused their take home, they pretended to give me an offer and on the last stage asked me to solve a take home again after 4 interviews.

startups are the devil anon

as for referrals I've run out, I have friends that have tried to wedge me in dozens of times with no success.
