[quote=deadzone]Out of curiosity, what specific job positions do you think you are qualified for, and actually want(ed), that you feel you have been held back from due to your race?
You keep bringing up how Asians are underrepresented in certain management/executive level positions. But is that really statistically true given the relative population of Asians in the US work force?
I would argue that for someone starting out in engineering or technology, the white male is the person with with the most uphill climb. The perception in society is that Asians are smarter so given that both white and asian males are the most plentiful, asians may have the advantage. On the flip side, black female is the opposite extreme. Could basically pick any job she wanted. Followed by black male and female of any color for the easiest track in getting a job.[/quote]
Leadership promotions that went to people far less technically qualified people who couldn’t deliver a project on time if their life depended on it, but played a really good game of politics and football to the point when I was out on medical leave, orchestrated a political game that moved my entire team and project out of my control and put it under his control, took all my architecture slides, removed my name, put his on, and presented them to senior execs as his work…while I was out on medical leave….His bosses boss, thought there was nothing wrong with it. You know the frat boy group…I interviewed for an new job at a new company while I was still on medical leave when I was still suppose to be in bed recovering from a colectomy. I got the job that paid 1.5x more, higher position…And about 1.5 years later when the asshole was laidoff he. interviewed at my new company. 5 out 6 people said hire, the last person overturned all 5 other people’s yes and he wasn’t hired…I made sure I got on the interview roster ad replaced the last person so it wouldn’t be 6 yeses…just so he knew it was me…
