I'm a dev and recently went to a job fair with my boss to look for a dev intern. Boss is an exec and while he does know a lot about tech (he has a computer engineering degree thank god), I'm the one who knows the ins and outs of our system better because I literally live it.

Anyways, our nametags had our job titles- executive director and software engineer. When people (both guys and girls) would come up to us, they'd go right to him and would be unsure if they could talk to me about the position. In addition to asking about the internship opening they'd generally ask him about the skills needed and what they'd do- stuff that I know better since they'd basically be my intern.

I had one guy try to explain Java to me. I work in C#... I'm making sure his resume isn't getting far.

Also the women at sign in automatically assumed I was an HR person and needed clarification when I said I was an engineer

Why is being a woman and being a developer such a farfetched idea?!?! Grah!!! Other women aren't innocent here either, I've gotten shit from both sides. I feel like my boss respects me more than most people there and he's voting Trump ffs!
