Is there more information that you haven't published?

There are plenty of reasons to choose a less qualified candidate that don't involve gender discrimination. Price. Nepotism. Change in spec.

You're obviously upset about this, so I know this won't be music to your ears, but without more evidence this seems like conjecture.

Considering how much discrimination and harassment women have faced in the tech industry over the years I think there should be a reasonably high bar before we start letting conjecture put a brake on progress.

I am certain that nepotism played no role. One of the ways this company is proud of its diversity is in the diverse backgrounds of its staff. They have publicly stated that they avoid hiring within their social circle.

There is only so much detail I can provide without compromising the anonymity of all involved. I want nobody involved to be caught up in any kind of drama associated with this. I just want to tell my story anonymously and move on.
