Nothing wrong with it, but why would a manager prefer to interview a campaigner for FOO over someone else, all else being equal.

The advice is how to get a salary when you need it. Take off anything even slightly controversial.

What do people on HN mean when they say

> Campaigner for pronouns?

Specifically, in a concrete day to day sense? Asking for the smallest of efforts, the most minimal of inclusive actions, in the form of "putting a pronoun on your slack profile" doesn't really feel like a _campaign_ to me. We've spent more time here talking about it then it takes to add it to the profile during the "campaign"!

Do you disagree with the statements:

Anyone campaigning, or proud of campaigning, on their CV will get fewer callbacks. It's unfortunate but true.
