In the wild world of tech startups, where dreams are coded and fortunes are made overnight, one developer just wrote the most audacious career playbook ever.

Soham Parekh, a Mumbai-based engineer, didn’t just break the rules – he absolutely obliterated them by simultaneously working at multiple Silicon Valley startups, sometimes juggling up to 4 jobs at once. Talk about multitasking on steroids!

The Grand Deception

Parekh’s strategy was simple yet brilliantly devious: craft a resume so impressive it would make LinkedIn profiles weep, ace technical interviews with charm and skill, and then vanish into the tech ether once hired. Playground AI founder Suhail Doshi called out Parekh’s resume as “90% fake,” revealing that even his claimed master’s from Georgia Tech was a complete fabrication.

Silicon Valley’s Most Wanted

Over a dozen startup founders fell victim to Parekh’s elaborate con. Some startups like Antimetal and Create discovered he was working multiple jobs simultaneously, promptly showing him the digital door. Leaping AI’s founder Arkadiy Telegin was particularly impressed, initially offering Parekh a whopping $160K-$200K salary after what he described as the most outstanding interview in weeks.

The Aftermath

Parekh eventually admitted his actions, citing financial hardship and a bizarre sense of mission commitment. While some see him as a symptom of overemployment culture, others view him as a full-blown scammer who undermined trust in tech hiring processes. One thing’s certain: this guy just redefined “hustle culture” in the most chaotic way possible.
