On: Ask HN: When did 7 interviews become “normal”?

[prepend]

I’ve worked in tech for decades and I’ve never experienced a process with “7 straight white guys” much less every time.

First, how do you know the sexual orientation of interviewers?

Next, tech is like 50-70% Asian so it would be so weird to only have white guys doing programming interviews.

The guy pet is spot on as programming is way heavy in guys.

But I’m not sure why you would think that 7 interviews = 7 straight white guys.

On the west coast. I've had employers where Eastern Europeans were more commonplace. The same employer had an Indian subsidiary but didn't hire H1-Bs and South Asians weren't present in notably large numbers.

I joined a subsidiary of a large company. I was the second non white guy at the company. Never knew a tech company could be so white.
