I tried 2 recruitment agencies in the last 6 months and the only offer I got was a receiptionist.

really?

can you pass as gay?

Not every time. Some times I'm just not qualified

sadly I'm only half joking

_qualified_

But when I am qualified and confident I can handle it, the diversity thing keeps happening

ive seen a lot of data science jobs requiring masters degrees

and i know a lot of applicants have them

so youre prob competing with that

and theres only a few positions per company to boot

Yeah. I'm aware. There are plenty of jobs I've applied to that require a masters. I applied since it couldn't hurt

those are prob the ones you mentioned werent qualified huh

Since when do you get a response for every application

this is why i hate data science, well one of the reasons

Do you know C?

I don't. I only get about a 5-8% response rate

have you tried finance companies? like some quant stuff

I don't know C

Quants even harder lul

idk bro, at least they have more of them lol

Quants review make the CS whiteboards look like elementary school problems

pfft doubt it. its just diff topics

Depends on how strong his math is

yea

true

There was one financial company in NY I applied to for an IT systems engineer, since I have the background in that. It was owned by Israel with an all female + lesbian executive staff. Not kidding

lol

how would you know they were lesbian?

Diversity is our strength.

My math is much stronger than average. I was a few courses from a major in it

You can't keep fixating on the wokeness

it's just how it is

They told me they were lesbian

Basically all of corporate jobs are woke

look man, i get the feeling you need to take a look at how youre reacting to these ppl. im betting theres stuff going on thats causing them to pass you up

maybe interview coaching?

I could see if I can get some coaching at my old university

are the interviews in person?

try that

cuz it might be something you just cant see, since youre too close
