it is a weird problem.
on one hand we want more diversity.
on the other i saw companies offer ludicrous offers to people heavily underqualified for the offers because they are a woman. Like a 2 year of experience lady with bad instincts (just lack of experience) but tons of potential. And offering her a senior engineer, same as we'd offer a 10 year veteran.
Point is, from the white male side, it seems insulting. I am not suggesting women are less capable, but they are having money thrown at them in ways males can't even approach.
But I suppose the price we pay for having so few women engineers.
- nojvek 8y agoI’ve seen this at BigCos. I just found it hard to figure out why someone got promoted and someone didn’t. It wasn’t a fair game where everyone was measured with same yard stick. I guess this is what happens when we optimize for a metric.
