Are candidates in Silicon Valley given preferential hiring or TC treatment based on race? Nationality?
Regarding hiring, I don't think so. When you apply you don't tell them your race until an offer. Also, phone interviewer can't see you. And even if they guess, they don't care. So prior to offer I don't think there is any preferential treatment.
They can definitely infer your race from your name. It’s pretty easy to know if someone’s Asian/Indian from their name or even to know if someone is Hispanic/African or female from their name as well.
That’s at least white or Asian so they can still discriminate against the person if they wanted. The chance of Robert lee being a minority is quite small
no
I think in general tech companies are less racially biased than Harvard. It’s against their best interest to discriminate. But Harvard doesn’t care if it wastes taxpayer money on affirmative action students.
Recruiters on H4 visa only hire Indian candidate.
Race - yes. Nationality - no. You still have to meet the bar though.
Why so mad? 😡 you had the upper hand for 400 years!
If we were all 400 years old then sure... But sure why some should pay and others benefit from our generation when neither benefited or suffered in the past... 🤔
Yes. Reverse discrimination!
Blacks, Latinos, and women definitely get preferential treatment in hiring and even an edge in TC and promotions.
So you mean everyone except Indian males? This is like in India, everyone got a quota based admissions except general category males
Supposing that is true, do you consider this a good and/or just practice?
