Suggestions on getting into the start up world? I got so many interviews in March but most didn't work out since I was out of the country for a few months. And now I'm not getting anything :( (cont.)

@OP: the measure is how much profit (not revenue) they generate. In the long term, it is not sustainable to generate sales/revenue burning investor money. My experience tells me profit conscious startups hire carefully. Most growth hack startups (including Uber) take in people generously but later face valuation corrections that cause layoffs.

I've tried referrals and directly applying. Is it just slow due to summer?

@d1: why do you say it is unlikely to build a career? When I say start up I don't mean early stage. My ideal role is operations manager at companies like uber, sprig, etc.
