- fffffg 5y agoThese days, it's easier to get ahead in the industry if you're female. This is to try to correct past sexisms. It's probably a good thing in the long run but does explain why a freshly graduated woman is more likely to have an easier path. (Oddly enough, this also works the same, to some extent, if you simply 'identify' as female, despite not biologically being one. Which seems to me, to negate the above.)
- dan-robertson 5y agoI think you’ll find that the easiest way to get ahead is by performing well in interviews, getting interviews and offers at the right companies (potentially involving getting into and out of the right schools) performing well at those companies, probably switching between firms a bit, and having a bit of luck. I think some things that will help with that are being intelligent, having the right citizenship (or right to work) where the good opportunities are, and being confident and cool under pressure. I think it is both true and helpful to consider most situations in the world as positive sun (everyone can win) rather than zero sum (my gain is your loss) and this is especially the case in growing tech markets and the growing tech employment market in general.

- fffffg 5y agoYes, that are good point and I stand humbly corrected. I was probably being too reductive in my comments above.
- Chris2048 5y agoDid the comment change? It reads "it's easier" rather than "the easiest".
- ffffffg 5y agoNo, but I think my original comment perhaps did not necessarily apply to circumstances described by the OP comment.
- spaetzleesser 5y agoI will give you credit for admitting that your previous comments were not the best. It’s pretty rare these days that somebody publicly states that they were wrong.
