Almost certainly yes, unless tech is different from the job market at large.
An interesting point on attractiveness in the job market is that people who are extremely unattractive tend to also perform very well. It’s mildly unattractive people who do the worst. My pet theory is extremely unattractive people have to work their asses off to make enough money to be sexually competitive in any way.

- afuchs 6y agoThis carries the assumption that competence is something that is purely objective. I find it more likely that what is perceived as competence is still subject to bias.
