Concluding Sexism in Google and other Big Tech !!
By ApproachingYellow, history, 4 years ago, In English

After getting frustrated by seeing this blog on top of recent action again and again. I try to conclude this stuff, so this irrelevant discussion may stop.

  • These are Profit Oriented Company, and Talented or Skillful people are not only things that bring profit to company
    Diversity, PR, Reputation, Government Policy are equally important to a company, or sometimes more important And yes, male psychology as mention in this comment too. These company are too genius to use anything in favor of them.
  • Yes, Google cheat with us by not mention 'Female Prefer' in hiring challenge, or unexpectedly turn out to be sexist
    But sadly there are 100's of time more feminist than us, that support this action of Google, Even Government and laws are totally biased in this case. It's hard but we few thousands of people who complain about it is too insignificant, these multi billion dollar company simply ignore us, nothing is going to change, only our respect for our future female co-workers is changing.
  • Yes It hurt, when you see someone undeserving getting better than you, Yes most of us feel jealousy by seeing post of these females in social sites
    (i) But please not make working in big Tech as ultimate goal of our programming journey, or measure of programmer success.
    (ii) Let prefer early phase startups over big tech that doesn't care much about diversity and value talent.
    (iii) Let simply ignore these girls post or their struggle story and suggestion to get into FAANG in LinkedIn or other social sites.

Personally I don't think CodeForces is meant for these things, it's CP site and we are here to practice and enjoy CP. It's better to stop futile discussion, which simply seems to wasting time.

Best!!

      Many people downvote the blog without reading it at all.

      People who read your comment at least read the blog.

          I think unless you write "companies are wrong they should hire boys instead of girls, let's try to bring up this issue and make a change, let's battle this sexism", you'll be downvoted no matter what you write.

            Agree, seems like majority of people in CodeForces think it as a site to prepare for job interviews or to discuss stuff related to placement and hiring.

            To job-seekers, LeetCode and GFG is for you !!

Regarding point 5: Google hires directly from Kickstart and that is completely talent based, so if you can make it to top 200 or something, you have a really good chance.

    FYI, I was three times in it's top-200, and i never got any call from them. You are so lucky if you get such chance.

      As far as I know, only final yearites get the interview. I know a guy who got the call, also he was from a tier 3 college.

      Hello, I like that you are making the same type of blogs again and again from different i.d.s . But every 10 minutes, I receive a message like this and it has become very annoying : https://ibb.co/fqWrYmv

(EDIT: point 2 is changed now, earlier it was: people want more females as their co-workers)

Point 2 is just plain wrong. There are a lot of other roles in the company like HR etc, companies can just hire a lot of female HRs if female company is what they require.

    Seems like you never work in a company, when you see a tech guy keeping his attention on HR department most of time??. They want female in their team.

      Diversity Hiring is not limited to women. It includes people from different religions, ethnicity, sexual orientations(the LGBTQ+ community), people with disabilities, etc.

      Are you suggesting that they want to have sex with all of them?

    Did I ever tell you that you're really cute? I think you are.

    Because, if I were getting sex by clearing coding rounds for girls? Why would I be simping anyway? Aren't simps deprived of sex?

What If I already started disrespecting my female co-workers because of this quota?

Can you try and make me think positively of them? I really want to...
