The thing is, this wasn’t a tech role. It was in “public policy” which I take to mean lobbying, and her previous experience was as a staffer to a US Senator. So her career is in politics rather than tech.
The other thing is that suing a broadly unpopular company for discrimination isn’t really going to be a career limiting move. Most companies settle most lawsuits, so you get to put on your resume that you successfully and publicly sued a big unpopular company for discrimination. But maybe I’m just being cynical about people who go into professional politics.
