- A software engineer named Soham Parekh has admitted to secretly holding multiple jobs at once across Silicon Valley startups, earning offers of up to $200,000 before delivering minimal work. The saga began after a viral post by Mixpanel’s former CEO accused him of scamming YC-funded companies. Startup founders say Parekh aced interviews, faked credentials, and offered wild excuses—ranging from drone strikes to visa issues—before vanishing. At least 10 companies reportedly hired and fired him for lying and underperforming.
