It's really staggering how different my job search process is from my male friends, especially since I work in an ultra-male dominated niche. For them, it's like begging in the street for an offer. For me, it's like strolling through the supermarket and selecting which one I want. I have literally only once interviewed and not gotten an offer.
People get upset when I speak about this, because it's taboo to say women have it easier (in some aspects) in the tech world. But I try to be vocal about my experiences, in an effort to encourage more girls to go into tech. After all, what better incentive is there than fantastic pay that's easy to get?
