20 Jun, 2026 Yesterday I was looking at YC jobs to see if there were any interesting small startups hiring in my area (while I otherwise love my current fully-remote job, I'm looking for hybrid). I found one that advertised an opening they called "GTM". I thought that was cool re: no specific scope, just someone who could make their product attractive to buyers however they can. Product seemed good (ETL type of tool). Everything was about what I expected, until the blurb at the end, where they asked for my SAT scores. I found this interesting for two reasons: Since 2023 or so, I've noticed more and more tech companies and hyper-growth startups dropping bachelor's degree requirements. Instead, many ask about side projects/links to personal websites/blurbs about what you're most proud of. Basically, indicators that someone is passionate and a 'self-starter.' Why would you ask for a self-reported, unverifiable test score that could be decades old at this point?…
