I can only speak for the Boston tech scene, but I've gotten to work with a number of highly skilled women, people of color, and people born in other countries.

I can only speak for the Boston tech scene, but I've gotten to work with a number of highly skilled women, people of color, and people born in other countries. I'd say ~80% of the women I've interviewed have been offered jobs. The biggest problem is that it's hard to find candidates who aren't white guys. I can't hire people who don't come in for interviews!
Unfortunately I have seen some solid 40+ year-old engineers turned away by other team members due to "culture fit." Fortunately my current company has been great about this.
