Do you want to work at a company where it matters?
- Qualman 11y agoA thousand times this. It makes me sad that you have to worry about this :(. But if there's that strong a bias against your name, you probably don't want to end up actually being present there. My advice, working at an enterprise SaaS company: stick to your guns, and be proud of your name! Good companies (like ours :) ) are actively seeking women for technical positions to correct the bias.

- jobposter1234 11y agoThe fear is that it happens at a subconscious level. Most people have subtle (latent) biases against disadvantaged groups. A perfectly awesome to work at company might be doing this out of ignorance, not because they would be a bad place for OP to work.
