- Huge difference between FB etc & Google - I Recently I interviewed at some of the top paying companies and I got rejected by almost all, here is my experience.

- What would be better than hr392? Every time I bring up the many ways in which HR392 is a step backwards my Indian friends tell me to propose a new bill and in the meantime suggest I support HR392 as a "step". But I don't support HR392. I think it is a step BACKWARDS. However I do know how unfair the current situation is to people

- Merit Based Hiring is a lie The huge diversity thread posted earlier only reaffirms my belief that Blind is a toxic cesspool of proto-fascists (I literally saw someone unironically share an alt-right meme about how the KKK and BLM are the same), but goddamn do I love hearing about TC and careers. So here I am. Anyway, a dogwhi
