Hello! Does anyone here have insight or leads to companies/ specific roles that have been historically more equitable in their hiring practices? I’m searching for a remote position in tech or tech adjacent. Every company I apply to that actually meets basic salary requirements for cost of living has all white or mixed white/Asian teams with no black women. I’ll be 24 in August and for some reason it feels impossible to kickstart my actual career rather than settling for stepping stone jobs

Tech does not have the best track record with women and minorities, but I have worked in tech for most of my working life and if you are talented and can get in with a decent group of people (and can gain respect), you can have a career there and get paid. As people move on, you’ll end up with a nicely distributed network - which is what you need for a career. The cool thing about tech is that you might start in one area and then branch out to other areas - so you might start out as an engineer but might then use those same skills to excel as a solutions architect, product manager, customer success (with a tech background you can move into those leadership positions), etc. I spent a lot of my career being the only or one of the few people of color in an entire company - so you will be a pioneer in many ways. I’m not trying to discourage you as there are definitely opportunities!
