For an oil major. At the end of the interview I was told they were at 75% DEI hire right now but they'll keep my resume on hand. I ended up getting the job ~8 months later after another white guy on the team resigned. The person who got the original position I applied for with less than half the experience I have, in much lower positions, is still here, doing much less than I am, with much lower expectations. Probably why I have such a grudge against DEI because it doesn't work the way it's supposed to, especially for those of us in industries that are overrepresented by white males.
