The answers to these and many other questions are in the video.

Frontend developer and video blogger KamaDeva expresses her point of view on common gender stereotypes in IT.

If you are interested in finding out whether sexism exists in IT interviews, or how the fact that a girl earns more than her boyfriend affects relationships, we recommend that you do not miss this video.
