Black Female Engineer
Hi Techies, I'm a black Female Engineer. Recently Graduated from Stanford with MS in Computer Science and just got offers from Google and Apple. This is my first real job beside small internship at start up. Obviously I'm a minority and I guess "rare" relative to the demographics we see in tech. These days.. Just want people opinion of me. What will be engineers reaction to me when I start the role? Should I be worried? Should I try to fit in? Will people treat me differently? My family spend their life savings on my education so I just want to do the best I can to repay them back. I just want to do well in life and code
Don't worry. You will do great. Best of luck on your first day
Congratulations! Go with the company you thought was the best for when you interviewed.
At least I have worked with highly collaborative teams with engineers from diverse countries and culture. Race had nothing to do when you're good at tech. If engineers working with logics everyday can't encourage real talents, no one else will.
Congrats!
I'd be honored to work with you! Plus you got offers from two of the few best companies in the world. Hold your head high. Be confident and focus on your work. You will kick ass
Ok thanks alot
i've never seen anyone gets discriminated against in my 10 years in the tech industry. do what u have to do and everyone will respect u
I agree with this with the valley and tech companies. Non tech companies with technical staff however....
Regardless of what people say, do the best work of your life.
You should not be worried, despite nonsense in the news tech is a very progressive/diverse industry. Kick ass and don't worry about other people's nonsense.
Means a lot thank you
