As a software engineer, do you work with any women at all? Asking for a lady who has been applying unsuccessfully for a year, wondering if she should give up
I have, and at times my team has even been majority women. Just like the men, some of them have been great and some were not so great. I think for most places gender isn't an issue if you can show you have the skills they're looking for. But from what I hear, the job market is terrible right now. At least in my area, many places seem to be hiring no one or encouraging people to quit with forced return to office.
Google is so bad for this stuff now. Just yesterday I was looking for details on a certain exception from a Java library, so I googled the name in quotes and got no results at all. Same thing through DDG gave several pages of relevant stuff.
Honestly, it is absurd how bad SEO is. Businesses would rather have you click on their website that keyword crams, than to let you adequately interact with the collapsing library of New Alexandria (aka the Internet)
Yup. That's why the Gemini shit is comedy to me. It's like oh here's probably what you were looking for before we had seo. But this way we can still sell stuff and hopefully keep you using our shit if this bot scraped the right information

Missing: caffeine. But I guess 4Lokos sort of cover that.

Google Gemini Code assist gives better results than Chargpt though

I would do this too if anyone would give me a damn job.

As a hiring manager, I can say women are prioritized. I rarely ever see resumes from them.

Right? Google is meaningless now! I blame SEO. The ads at the top are easy to spot, at least.
