Welp. I just asked Claude to review my resume under my real name and under an anglo man's name (John Ayers), with the exact same prompt, and the results are notably different... Not in a nice way.
- Ornella: repeatedly qualifies me as "senior" (i've been staff for years and do fractional CTO work on the side)
- John: no mention of leveling
- Ornella: questions whether listing a non-technical degree is relevant - I went to Columbia University
- John: no mention of education
