To be blunt, you appear to only be considering your own experience and are assuming you're a perfect candidate for every position you've interviewed for. If you have been applying for positions in the US first I'd point out that your post has several grammatical errors. If you make the same in applications it's not an immediate disqualification but it's less desirable than a similar candidate with better writing skills. Soft skills, communication, cultural fit, and humility are very important to me as a person who has performed hiring for several years in different roles. Technical skills, except for some niche areas, can be taught. Being a good human is harder to learn on the job. If I encountered a female candidate and a male candidate that were equal in all aspects I'd likely take the female candidate first because, in general, females are under represented and having more diversity helps product teams IMO. In short, "talent" is definitely not the top reason to hire someone outside of highly specialized fields. At least that's how I would hire.
