Interesting stats

Mostly all junior and that makes sense in terms of who is sharing. 60% said they were visible minority and 22% said their gender was an issue.

Does that lineup with recent Microsoft hires or is this dataset unrepresentative.

According to the article

> Microsoft’s latest diversity report showed the company was mainly white and male, especially at the highest levels.

It is reasonable to believe that this data set is not representative.

Minority can mean Asian/ South Asian. This seems right. (Source: Microsoft employee)
