i was called racist in business school for stating that this study was clearly propaganda.
A 2015 McKinsey study was used by investors, lobbyists and regulators to push for more diversity on boards, and to justify investing in companies that appointed them. There are obvious benefits to diverse leadership, but the McKinsey study was fundamentally flawed- a number of

the original trophy wife was a model/actress/hot blonde. the modern trophy wife is the most successful, high-powered woman you can get to give up her career for you.
No heterosexual man has ever said "Yeah I'm into her, but her career isn't going well -- I'm not sure it'll work out between us.". Ever. In all of written history, never has a heterosexual man wished a woman had a more developed 'career'. You're imposing this on yourself.

Counterpoint: this is a disgusting behavior at his level. You don't see other great founders doing that for a reason.

“I didn’t get paid to do the take home interview” feels like the most entitled tech person thing possible. Honestly a massive 🚩🚩🚩.
I recently interviewed at Eight Sleep and it was the most demanding take home I've ever had. Their brief: "Create an in-app experience for a new product, integrating the existing app and flagship product." Even linked their design system and font family to use.
