I think you're making a reasonable point that's coming in too strong. - I've been in several companies whose teams were not white male dominated, including leadership. - The situation with women in engineering teams is a problem, but I have witnessed at least one place myself that was doing very well (big tech co) - I work in AI, which beyond the applied math and science parts, is basically just backend, data, and infrastructure engineering. My experience is that the particular technologies aren't super important, and experience does transfer. I've also used nothing but Python for the last 7 years and this has been perfectly fine. I've had to learn several different database technologies, though at some point I expect to not have to do this much more. Architectures are obviously different, but that will always be true. And it doesn't mean that you can't apply prior knowledge to have important insights. All of my more senior colleagues and managers understood this, sometimes explicitly saying so in our interviews. Certainly this is a discussion point when I've hired people. I'd like to know a little more about why you've come up with what you have here. I do think something in your experience is a little off, because it really doesn't match mine.
