Soham Parekh confesses to moonlighting at Silicon Valley startups
Soham Parekh has publicly admitted to working at multiple Silicon Valley startups simultaneously after being exposed in a viral social media post, claiming financial desperation drove his controversial employment scheme.
"It is true," Parekh confirmed in a TBPN interview when asked about allegations of holding multiple full-time jobs. "I'm not proud of what I've done. That's not something I endorse either. But no one really likes to work 140 hours a week, I had to do it out of necessity."
Parekh attributed his actions to severe financial circumstances rather than greed. "I was in extremely dire financial circumstances," he explained in the interview. "I'm not a very people person. I don't share much about what's going on in my life. So I just thought: if I work multiple places, maybe I can elevate myself out of the situation faster."
