'Work In a Startup Event'

Short of interning there are limited ways to truly understand the pro's and con's and making an informed decision (which is in everyone's interest).

"We'll begin with a presentation that explains in general what you need to know about working for a startup. Then we'll have series of rapid-fire presentations by YC-funded companies currently looking to hire programmers, explaining what it would be like to work for them specifically. After the event we'll have a barbeque where you can talk one on one with the founders of any company that interested you."
