Linkquote:A recent study showed things are not at all bad for women aspiring for STEM faculty positions. According to researchers Stephen Ceci and Wendy Williams, they found no sexism in STEM faculty jobs as women tend to be employed for STEM tenure-track positions at a 2:1 ratio. As a female computer science major, I'm kind of happy about this. My classes are total sausagefests right now.

I'm vaguely involved in hiring/firing decisions and I know I would have a strong preference for a female candidate over an equally qualified male candidate. A well qualified female candidate probably worked twice as hard as her male counterpart. This is theoretical though, as I've yet to interview a woman.

i'm glad there's an equally available pool of men & women although in seriousness the science part is usually pretty gender equal, it's the engineering side that's male dominated

i always think about female guitarists when this comes up there are loads of female virtuosos in like, almost every instrument. probably not equal representation but you're certainly not surprised to find out that a woman is an amazing pianist. but when you find out a woman is really good at the guitar? mindblown actually now that i think about it, there's probably a lot of weird instrument gendering in classical music and i dont know the name of a single female composer off the top of my head. and i guess i dont really know of any female jazz artists. maybe the difference is that we're comfortable with women playing instruments, as long as they're playing music a man wrote and are being led by a male conductor??

Clochette posted:What kind of job was it, exactly? It seems crazy to me that exactly zero women would apply. well i have no idea, some women might have applied. we've been hiring for the same role though and we barely have any applicants, let alone female ones. we mostly hire through recruiters here for some stupid reason, so maybe the recruiters are bad about seeking out women. i mean, given that they want to send us candidates we're likely to hire, and given that they are certainly aware of sexism in the tech industry, it wouldn't surprise me if recruiters screen out women (intentionally or unintentionally).

the owner of the place I'm working is a foreigner who speaks mostly in english so he's trying to hire people with decent english skills it's sad to watch the candidates with "advanced fluent english" on their resumes just meltdown in front of him without being able to answer "how are you?"

not everyone who works here is a kernel developer. i had (realistically) one year of professional programming experience and 2 years of 'loving around' experience when i started here and i'm doing really well. i had way more imposter syndrome at my last job, where every developer was allowed access to the production console. quote:its weird that you dont get many people applying with technical skills. do you think they arent familiar with the company and its just another job on the list yeah i think it basically comes down to the fact that it's a "contract for hire" position at a relatively corporate gig. absolutely a good job but it doesn't look great on paper. making the jump made a lot of sense for me, since i was so inexperienced and getting the brand name on my resume alone was worth making the jump. but i dont think it would make sense for most people, especially people who aren't straight out of college who might already have families, etc. DONT THREAD ON ME fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Oct 25, 2015 |
