I also saw the tweets at Yann LeCun. I'm not his biggest fan, but that wasn't right. She's hurting minorities for her own agenda.
Edit: removed info about myself.
Unless you still work at Google, how do you know she actually broke any rules? As far as I know, her e-mail to the Brain list is not public?
Yes, it is a bit absurd. And if you're the first minority hire on a team that hires 1 person a year, you will be paid under the team average for a while, just as if you weren't.
> And at what level are we talking about?
Entry level employees at FAANG mostly. For PhDs managing people, such as the person in the article, I expect there's a much wider band of possibilities.
You can absolutely get paid that much more. Companies make exceptions all the time and justify two people doing the same job by paying more if someone is more experienced even if the technical skills performed and responsibilities by both people are equal. Instead of being rewarded for working twice the hours to learn something faster due to whatever reason someone can still be paid more for basically accomplishing the same amount of progress in their career but taking more time to do it.
Trust me there are all kinds of reasons you can get paid three times more.
What does this mean? That you don't feel like the race you actually are because you don't play the race card?
I hope I misread that and there is a more charitable explanation.
