Being really kind and open minded - I would say it has made me an asset for the most part, but sometimes it’s refrained me from being more assertive as a leader and fighting for what I actually want - when most westerners are trained to say see the word in black and white. Internally I can be like, “Puede…” 😆 and maybe too willing to compromise.
But again it’s been great for the most part.
I mean—we have no toxic traits, we are simply amazing diba? 😉
For me, getting into the engineering industry. I’d like to think I’m smart but a less than stellar personality. I’m not the best at interviews and I feel like my hispanic name also doesn’t help.
If I was a nurse, I’d get a job at any moment. I don’t know any filipino in tech and I live in the SF bay area. I’ve met a few but they’re friends of friends, so not really in my circle and usually not a SWE.

Yeah, its super rare to see filipinos in corp jobs generally. Im not an engineer, more in the biz side, but i barely see us anywhere! And yeh, the name thing. It can suck. All my filipino friends are doing non-corp work, from more artistic or healthcare. I wonder why…
Being the ‘double only’ a good majority of the time.
At work - woman. Outside of work - Filipino.
My current organization is really great about uplifting women and diversity. Previous organizations not so much.
