Job application asked for my SAT scores

# Summary A job applicant discovered that a YC-backed startup requesting GTM role applications asked for SAT scores, which prompted reflection on outdated hiring practices. While cognitive ability does correlate with job performance, using decades-old, self-reported SAT scores is problematic since they reflect a person's abilities as a teenager under unknown circumstances rather than current capability. The author notes this contradicts the recent industry trend of dropping degree requirements in favor of assessing current passion and skills through portfolios and side projects.
