YC has been helping thousands of startups like Airbnb, Instacart and Stripe build from day 1. And in the process of doing so, we’ve also learned a ton about what it takes for founders to find and hire killer teams.

We put together this Startup Job Guide to help you – job seekers – find the startups that are most interesting, ask the right questions before joining, and increase your chances of landing your dream job!

If you’re new to the startup world, start with the next section: What is a startup? If you know the startup basics and want to find the best startups for you, check out: Picking a good startup.

And once you have a plan, start applying to jobs at vetted YC startups on Work at a Startup!
