Does she offer any actual evidence that she was rejected due to racism? She just seems to assume it.

Please don't post flamebait or snark to Hacker News. Would you mind reviewing the site guidelines? Both of those are deprecated, and there's this, too:

Edited to be less provocative.

The part where she doesn't get a response when using her email but does when using her partner's email is pretty convincing. There are many studies that gauge racism in hiring by sending out resumes that only differ in candidate's name.

I don't think so. The husband's resumé is dramatically more qualified that the author's. He has multiple startups/exits and was a FAANG engineer.

Is she similarly qualified?

I never realized these racism studies were done using such different resumes. This is a bit shocking if so.

You have a multi-exit google engineer vs a trainer?

She doesn't share her deck?

A quick look - did she buy reviews (the block of 5 star reviews)?
