Most tech companies outside the big ones plan for the short term. In the short term, mentoring is easily seen as a waste of time. Companies that plan for the next ten years instead of the next seed round or two years are not going to want t

Would like to see this as well. Most of my second and even first generation Asian friends' parents came to the US with no education and worked low pay service jobs. While they were working 10-12 hours a day, my friends excelled in scho

Can't speak for SF but it's a little trickier with NYC. Thing is, a lot of middle class white collar workers live here not expecting to ever have any of the above (owning a home, good schools) in the city. They know the city is ex

Live in != Own property. Many people well into their 30s and 40s live in NYC with roommates or a partner renting an apartment. Most of these decide to buy outside of the city but still work in it.

That tech is open to people of all backgrounds, even self taught, is awesome but it has its drawbacks: it's harder for the interviewer. I disagree that there are objective measures and the vast amount of e-ink spilled on interviewing p
