The other obvious missing part is African Americans, especially for tech roles. I'd be shocked if more than 1% of SDEs at FAANG are African Americans. The biggest social elevator of the past few decades and they're completely cut off from it.
- nunez 3y agoDefinitely not "completely"
- oblio 3y agoNo, not completely cut off from the software tech elevator, you're right, just 90%. Much better :-)
- nunez 3y agoI wouldn't frame it as "cut off" as much as it is "unknown unknowns." If you don't have family/close friends in this industry and don't have any resources or the wherewithal to help you/yourself break into it, then you're kind of SOL.
- oblio 3y agoDownvoted: look around where you work, FAANG. Count the African Americans :-) Truth hurts, I guess?
