Job application asked for my SAT scores – Mr. Market

💥 Read this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: 20 Jun, 2026 Yesterday I was looking at YC jobs to see if there were any interesting small startups hiring in my area (while I otherwise love my current fully-remote job, I'm looking for hybrid).
