Is Flyhigh group judging applications off name?

Is not just wrong to say, it's just wrong

Well we need context. I notice that they are a recruiting agency that specializes in people who speak multiple languages so I guess they actually are looking for Chinese speakers and not biased, but know that others are.

Could just be a note based off personal experience or stories he heard from peers.

I just feel there is something very wrong about that bullet and essentially telling someone to leave off his last name..

I’d rather have someone say it, than silently do it. If anything someone took a risk to be honest enough to say this in writing. 👏👏 To be honest, it’s not hard to look at a resume And make a reasonably accurate guess whether or not someone needs a visa sponsorship. But any company that worries so much about a visa sponsorship is probably junk tier and not worth working for in the first place.

So you’re Ian who studies /just graduated from UCB?

We folks in tech are in Utopia. But in other fields people do get rejected for silliest reasons. Sometimes my friends from other fields apply at Amazon. They always make sure to mention at the very top that they don’t require sponsorship so that their resumes aren’t thrown away. On the other hand SWE folks don’t even have to apply.

The assumption he is making though shows the point he is going off though. It sounds like much more then resume advice

How dare he give free advice based on his personal and professional experiences

This is wrong but it’s more common than people want to admit. I’ve shortened my last name so it appears as less “ethnic”. It’s a hyphenated birth name so it’s not lying. Just bending.
