This is a real thing.

It is hard for anyone that is not "diverse" to get promoted at the highest levels of Microsoft. Almost all CVP promotions are "diverse" now in a way that is pretty overt.

I am a huge proponent of D&I, but it is hard not to feel discriminated against and feel like there isn't much of a career trajectory for me.

And yet, with women representing just 18% of CS graduates (1), still 200% as much as would be expected as an extrapolation of the population.

Why would you need a CS degree in HR, Marketing, Product, etc?
