A company inquired about a job interview, it's basically a cutting edge tech firm. I went to the website and everyone is a cac male or female and 1 Asian chick. I'll pass on wasting my time and not getting hired 95% chance and/or being the token negro 5% chance.

I would reconsider :yeshrug:

Even if you don't want the job you can always learn during the interview process
You can sharpen your interview skills
learn how to negotiate (if they want you, ask for more money)
etc.

Interviewing is a skill (because your resume/experience is the same no matter what) and you passed on at least the opportunity to sharpen that skill even further...at most you may be passing on a good fulfilling gig to help you move to the next phase in life

otherwise

I've been on over 15 interviews this pass year, my interview skills are impeccable at this point. It all comes done to Cacs ain't hiring a big masculine black male

So you've gone on 15 interviews (and still looking I'm guessing)
You don't have a job yet
you have impeccable interview skills, but no one will hire you
you find a company that wants to interview you
you don't go because you don't like the demographic of the employees from the website

ok

This logic is like saying "I've been on 15 first dates, I never get a second date because the women are all intimidated by me. I'm not going to go on another date because I already know she is going to be intimidated. But BTW I am a fantastic dater"

do you breh! I'm glad you have a stance :salute: It just seems counterproductive to be searching for a job, and not take an interview... I've never had that luxury :ehh:

I do have a job with a major corporation, but it's in a warehouse doing data entry and research. It's a terrible job, but it looks great on my resume with my dress up skills.
