Chinese Workers Abandon Silicon Valley for Riches Back Home
There&#x27;s one important datapoint in this article: &quot;The Bamboo Ceiling&quot;.<p>When the whole fuzz about gender discrimination started, Microsoft and Google published numbers, claiming women got the same pay at the same positions as men. Knowing there&#x27;s discrimination from personal experience&#x2F;feeling, I theorized, that women are discriminated in a different way: they don&#x27;t receive promotions.<p>Under otherwise similar circumstances having children does not feel to be enough to explain why of 100 women hired in tech on professional roles less are promoted to higher positions, than of 100 men. That trend is (at least anecdotally for me) observable even before people become parents.<p>This &quot;Bamboo Ceiling&quot; shows the same effect for another potentially discriminated group of people.
