Discussion: trans-programmer workplaces
Hyia!
I have already mentioned how "nice" it is to be a trans girl in a small legacy software company, so unless anybody wants that I will not go into detail.
but I would love to hear others experiences or advice <3, positive or negative, what kind of company do you work at?, how is your experience?
infodumps welcome!
Lots of love <3, Xea
this place has a backwards IT and coding policy where everything's proprietary and we're not allowed to use any programs from the internet.
how.... are you even supposed to work like that? oof
I don't even.... idk. I tried to beg IT for mercy on the phone but they said tough luck, it's company policy.
I tried a startup, a small legacy software comp like yours, a 5000+ people corporation, and a shitty dev shop and an international regulatory body
- Startup is hit or miss
- 5000+ corp has diversity policies that protect you but outside of those they won't care
- Shitty dev shop will be full of transphobes but they'll never show it to your face
- Smol old software company will do everything to preserve the good vibes of the office, if they hire you it should go smoothly
- Big international gov has eastern european/greek/balkans/portuguese devs and they come with their religious beliefs and not super cutting edge beliefs about gender. They'll have diversity policies but way less progressive than a private company - the bare uncriticizeable minimum, to cause the least amount of waves. Safe, no risk, and safe again.
