> * Diversity hiring: Big US/EU companies are trying to hire more females here because cost is low and they can show great diversity numbers. It hurts when you see posh privileged urban women having much more chance of getting into a good company than a man who worked his way up through sacrifice.

do you have any examples of this happening? or is this just a boogie man?

my experience has been different: so many mediocre men in this industry. all of the women i've worked with have been brilliant.
