that&#x27;s the thing here - who the f<i></i>k is denied success in IT, which all this about? I am from east Europe too, currently living in Western Europe, and the only discrimination I ever saw in university and professional job was positive discrimination against women.<p>At school, that 1 girl we had in whole class out of 100 students was pampered with so much attention and had it so easy on verbal exams (written of course were equal as far as I can say). Everybody would love to have more girls, from teachers to students, but they couldn&#x27;t care less. Economic studies were far more sexi rather than geeky IT guys.<p>Same when working - when hiring, female devs were so rare that there was very strong preference in female candidates (ie all that showed up were hired, but it&#x27;s fair to say they were good... just not better than competing guys).<p>Right now, I am sitting in front of a consulting girl from Azerbaijan and a guy from Morocco. Both well performing and highly regarded in our company. This IS fair world, as much as we can do it. Not 100%, but damn good and far better than ever before. So stop whining and rather contribute.
