Soham Parekh, an engineer, has admitted to secretly holding multiple positions at various Silicon Valley startups. He reportedly earned salaries up to $200,000 while delivering minimal work. Startup founders claim he excelled in interviews and provided creative excuses for his performance issues. Multiple companies have hired and subsequently fired him after discovering his deceit. The situation garnered attention following a viral post by Suhail Doshi, who warned others about Parekh's actions and shared his fabricated credentials that included false work experience and educational background.
"A single software engineer has become the most-hired person in Silicon Valley. The engineer, Soham Parekh, has admitted that he had been working across multiple up-and-coming Silicon Valley startups at the same time after he went viral on social media."
"Startup founders told Fortune that Parekh would ace early interviews, land high-paying jobs, and then ghost employers when work began."
"The saga began on Wednesday when Suhail Doshi, co-founder and former CEO of Mixpanel, issued a warning about him on X."
"He'd been offered salaries of up to $200,000 per year in base compensation by founders."
