Try being a minority, and consistently get rejected because you aren't a good "culture fit" on an all white team.
edit: I didn't mean to sound like I was trivializing your experience. The "culture fit" is really nasty and sucks for everyone who isn't "the norm".
- duxup 8y agoNaw it's all good. I hear ya. It's similar in the sense that if that thing age, race, whatever is the thing... I can't do anything about that and it seems to preempt anything else.

- neffy 8y agoThe "not the right fit" one always makes my blood boil especially in these cases.
- tootahe45 8y agoMy experience in tech is that companies will go above and beyond to hire minorities including women, big companies will sometimes lower requirements to get more of these candidates in. You have to be wary though particularly with startups who talk a lot about culture, usually it translates to 'you should be working on our product in your spare time'.
