I wonder how it feels like to be a female engineer, trying to figure out whether your skills were indeed above the bar, or you got hired only to fill the gaps in some diversity officer’s spreadsheets. Sounds like a recipe for impostor syndrome to me.
- denverkarma 9y agoOne of the very best programmers I've ever worked with is female. She said almost this exact thing to me, basically: "On the one hand it's awesome that I can have my pick of any job in the business, on the other hand it sucks that I don't know if I'm just a statistic for them."
