Soham Parekh - the guy who bagged multiple startup jobs and 'scammed' CEOs - breaks his silence

If CEOs can oversee multiple companies/projects without facing any ethical scrutiny, how is this any different or wrong?

2

This guy alone is making few others jobless, so is AI.
Actually Indian.

The difference is youā€™re not allowed to be part of ā€œtheir ingroupā€.

And here we are struggling to get a decent job opportunity :joy:

Man I want to go on a big rant on how these mfers make it so hard for the rest of usā€¦ but I donā€™t have any energy

Now so much scrutiny would be on all remote workers. Hiring is already bleak for remote jobs in tech. Now it is going to be so difficult to even get a decent freelance gig.

and the most pathetic thing is some are making him a hero. :expressionless_face:

Indeed. Even a single personā€™s action can have lasting consequences. In our company, a guy cleared all the technical and Hr round, but on the day of joining a different person showed up. While we were able to identify the fraud immediately and the person was removed. But now any position filling got a final in-person round because of that on person.

Was it revealed if he was outsourcing all his work, or was he just brute forcing the entire thing himself all day? The latter seems exhausting.

how would this even have worked? assuming you mus have had him submit his documents/have had a video call with the candidate.

10

probably nothing, since he got fired from a lot of companies in just a couple of weeks

11

The person who interviewed on video call was different than the one who showed up. The thing is when the HR called the number. It was unreachable on day of joining. And the dude called back from a different number citing that he had changed is number. That was the first red flag. And once he showed up, he was not able to recognise the Lead who took his interview. So got caught immediately.

12

then the candidate is an idiot and the interview process worked as expected but damn now we cant even rely on video calls to gauge candidates, idiots like him are forcing the rest of us to in-person interviews

  • so he had a happy ending
  • thereā€™s a subreddit r/overemployed with 450k people in it?!?!? (its a subreddit of people who does stuff like this. )
  • and there are people who earns 10k+ dollars a month by doing this.

the comments under that video are ā€˜interestingā€™.
