      People generally underestimate two things 1. How hard it is to get your foot in the door as an outsider. I lived in a car for months in Palo Alto with no prospects, connections or money to break into Silicon Valley 2. How wide doors are open once you’re on the inside and hustle

      So how do we make it easier for good talent from outside of Silicon Valley to break in?

      You should talk to the dozens of African American, Latino and female founders that have high paying software jobs after Lambda. It’s the majority of our students.

          Did they get jobs in Silicon Valley?

          So founders go through lambda to get high paying software jobs? What happened to their companies? If Silicon Valley is so open to those who enter its doors, there should be more representation now than there was 20 years ago. Your experience is different than most people

          Not founders. We train people to be software engineers at no cost until they’re hired

          That’s what I thought but your tweet said I, a female founder, should ask the dozens of female founders about their high paying software jobs...still evades the point: doors are opened wider for white men who look like those holding the power in SV, it’s harder for everyone else

          He basically said minorities were the majority of their students though?

          That has nothing to do with having doors opened for you once your “inside”.

          When he says inside I'm pretty sure he means once you get a job, and how you see the opportunities you now have to get better and get connections, but you have to hustle. He doesn't control SV lmfao, not everyone gets a chance you gotta take adantage of what you do get
