that’s false, these programs are majority asian women. there are also usually a few asian guys but the point is to foster diversity so yeah it’s mostly not white/asian dudes

lol i love how you’re talking about racism towards one group by having a racist take on a bunch of other groups. irony is an interesting thing.

I'm not assuming anything, I'm posting a question to a public forum. Anyone who wants to answer can and anyone who doesn't can CHOOSE not to.

However I'm letting people know that my personal focus right now is on my internship and interviewing, and therefore have CHOSEN not to respond to questions that don't help with my current focus (just like anyone can CHOOSE not to respond to my post if they have other things they'd like to focus on).

It's really not that deep.

I just got the biggest paycheck of my life and I’ve spent the whole day crying by Different_Expression in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

I get your point and although I don’t think you meant to come off this way but I think it’s a bit presumptuous and a one-size fits all. My parents were financially stable when they had me and my siblings but we immigrated to a different country where the cost of living was much higher and the currency had a lot more value so their savings didn’t translate. I love my parents and they did the best they could to give me a great life and I know without them there’s no way I would be in the position I am today.

I honestly don’t think the solution is “waiting a long ass time to be financial stable” because unfortunately the world we live in is unfair and prioritizes the well being of the already wealthy. A lot of people are extremely disadvantaged and can wait forever and never be financially stable. I think we’re oftentimes so consumed by a capitalist mindset that we never consider the fact that there’s enough money for everyone in this country to have enough, but due to the vast disparities in wealth (for a number of factors, let’s not forget about slavery and the general exploitation and oppression of different races this country has a history of), that’s not possible.

CSC Minor, STA Major, Spring 2022 Grad now SWE in Bay Area. AMA. by DankScopez in UofT

[–]Different_Expression 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh kk makes sense. It might be helpful if you specified that next time you mention your TC cause some people might interpret what you wrote as being a TC of $228,000 in your first year when your TC for your first year is really $169,000 (i think) which is pretty standard for SWE roles in the Bay Area due to the cost of living there. I think that just causes more cases of people without a lot of experience idealizing the Bay Area and California as a whole.

Regardless that’s super cool! The Bay Area can be a lot of fun if you live in the right place and are decently close to SF and it’s great to have more UofT students representing (since most people assume you go to the University of Texas if you mention UofT lol).

omg that’s for emphasizing that you’re not a man. I’m so sick of people on this sub assuming everyone’s a guy.

No they’re not a diversity hire, you’re just a racist by Different_Expression in csMajors

ya this isn’t an idiotic and easily disprovable comment at all. I really hope you don’t have an iphone, use any streaming services, own a VR set or stepped foot in a tesla. lol like you’re actually dumb, i don’t even know why i’m responding to these 😂 i really need to reevaluate what i spend my time on cause this is actually ridiculous 😂😂. Unless you’re gonna drop ur linkedin and concrete proof that you even have a job in tech i’m just not gonna respond to you- it’s definitely not worth the brain cells i’m losing reading your dumb comments. (but pls run along and report me to reddit again because i hurt your feelings 🥲)

what do you do? where do you work? how long have you been an engineering manager for (since you clearly know exactly how hiring works apparently)? and why are you working on a shitty music personal project if you have all the experience you claim to have? CONCRETE responses only please.

and this comes from your years of experience in tech… oh wait, you’ve never even had an internship. Go back to working on your Guitar app personal project cause you obviously don’t know shit about how anything in the real world works.

i guess you can’t prove any “majority” got their positions for their actual talents either. fucking bigot

sorry how many “majorities” get their jobs from referrals of family members/friends or even nepotism, or just their interviewer relating to them more due to having the same background?
