I doubt it's actual job offers. More like recruiter spam. But even if it was true, I doubt the enthusiasm towards offering a job to a woman they've never and know little to nothing about could be considered positive. Hitting on job candidates isn't good for women's perception of the tech industry.
But if it was recruiters? I work in tech and get spammed by recruiters all the time. I don't really think it counts for a lot, since I didn't get any until I was already in tech.
- verteu 13y agoIf the male candidate got several job offers and the female got none, would you consider this evidence of gender discrimination? Bayes' Law says you cannot rationally hold both beliefs simultaneously.
- mherkender 13y agoI am suggesting that it is either evidence of discrimination (men hitting on women) or evidence of nothing (recruiter spam). I'm not sure what you think I'm saying. And it's hard to think in terms of Bayes' Law when this is anecdotal anyway.
