No one has an advantage. It's all about hard work and dedication.
Desire, Dedication, Dilligence, Drive.
You make the grade, you do the job.
Who cares about "diversity?" No one!
This profession demands professionalism. If those in charge of hiring are trying to rack and stack their diversity matrix that means they are sacrificing professionalism.
Diversity if the new four letter word. Don't be fooled by those fancy HR degrees. it's just another form of discrimination. If a better qualified candidate gets passed over because of "data point collection", it was discrimination.
So, if you are for diversity first, and qualifications second, I say that is discriminatory and unfair, and unprofessional.
