Lots of this.
It's not only Russia, either, which I find to be a bizarre point of focus here. I find female colleagues are far more likely to be from India, China, or Taiwan than any western nation.
- pottersbasilisk 10y agoYes I can confirm this too. From our brief conversations, most of them didnt enjoy it but do it for the money (like me).

I find female colleagues are far more likely to be from India, China, or Taiwan than any western nation. Where are you currently based? In the UK (and this is a BBC article) I don't see many (or any really) female tech workers from the countries you mention but lots from Russia and easter Europe.
- omikun 10y agoNot the parent but I have worked for half a dozen tech companies around the US and they're mostly Indian/Chinese/White.
- k-mcgrady 10y agoThanks, I would have assumed that (and wasn't disputing it). I was just trying to point out to the parent that his experience may not apply everywhere and considering it's a BBC article the UK perspective might be useful to understand why their focus is Russia and not those other nations.
- PerfectDlite 10y ago> It's not only Russia, either, which I find to be a bizarre point of focus here That's still repercussions of calling Russia the whole USSR. Now most post-Soviet republic are kind of shadowed.
