That's not possible in the tech field because the tech field is very diverse. With the high immigrant %, most people do not fit in because there is no majority/in-group. The demographic is fragmented with the immigrant groups clustering by native language and country of origin. You end up with maybe 30-40% Americans in an engineering team.
- shuntress 10y agoI didn't mean specifically in the tech field. My peers in undergrad computer science were as you described, except I would estimate 60-70% Americans, 95% male 5% female. I now work for a small-ish company with ~25 developers on a few different teams. All men. I understand that this is anecdotal, though not uncommon.
