So all interviewers are male, white upper-middle-class with a fondness for beer?
Good to know.
- dguaraglia 10y agoNot all, but the vast majority fit exactly that profile. It's not difficult to find evidence of that, just Google for <insert any of hundreds of studies and internal diversity reports by major Silicon Valley companies here>. So yes, they point about "hiring for character might bias the outcome" is still valid.
- soft_dev_person 10y agoI guess, as a person not in the SV sphere, I don't really agree. Maybe I missed the implied SV context.
- Cthulhu_ 10y agoThis is HN, a community consisting mostly of middle-upper-class white males orbiting around SV.
- TheCoelacanth 10y agoIf you replace "white" with "white, Indian or east Asian" then you are pretty darn close.
