More to think about

I'll be back. And it's good to be here.

This is, indeed, an interesting perspective. I had never thought about how the interview process might be different for males v. females except for wondering if males get asked about their "communication style" (which I always read as "are you a good bitch or a bad bitch?")

Do you think that when being interviewed as a male and they question your work as your own that it might be because plagiarism or "resume padding" happens more with males or is it maybe that whole "women are more honest" thing? Did you ever get a vibe for that?

Great thoughts here for sure, Im pondering more now!

Pardon me while I grumble about encountering too many tech teams that want to give the women on the team the "design" work and leave the actual building of the infrastructure to the men.
