Hi guys, hope I can get some guidance
I have two offers in hand with similar compensation - SDE in Akamai and SDE in HPE for same location? This would be my first switch. Which one should I take

Even though both are awesome companies, I beleive Akamai is more on VOIP telecommunication (assuming I am correct). Hpe has a wider variety of departments and work areas of interest. With the new merger of Juniper the scope to learn and grow is more.. so I would recommend HPe

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.

HR folks — what feedback have you obscured by offering that line instead?
