I'm a junior developer trying to get a job in the valley and this part makes me so angry.

"I knew being hot got me in the door and that after that I had to make that work for me. Culturally, we are taught as women that our main power is our looks and sexuality. Then it's a matter of what you do with it. Personally, I used the s--- out of it, and I was more successful than my male colleagues because of it."

Why does it make you angry? In my experience, women on wall street play a totally different game than men in order to advance their careers. I don't see any reason why it would be different in silicon valley. All you have to do is figure out your own personal technique for success and advance in that direction, without worrying about other people's tricks.

Hmm, sex for money. Isn't that considered prostitution?

Read the article. She didn't take money from him.
