Surveys and focus groups find that women enter the tech world empowered by their credentials and filled with enthusiasm and ambition. My own survey found that, like their male colleagues, women in tech report enjoying technology and wanting to work with brilliant people to solve tough problems. They're aware the industry's mostly male, but that's true of technical majors at universities, too, so most enter the workplace confident they know what they're facing and can push through any sexism they encounter. In the early years of their careers, women self-report themselves to be ambitious and happy.But over time they get ground down. Most have very few female role models and colleagues. Surveys find 23% to 66% report experiencing sexual harassment or seeing it happen to others. Half the respondents to my survey said they've been treated in a way they find hostile, demeaning or condescending, and a third said their bosses are friendlier and more supportive with their male colleagues. Women report being encouraged to move out of pure tech into support functions, which offer less pay, are less prestigious and have limited upward mobility. A 2014 Glassdoor analysis concluded that women in tech are paid less than their male colleagues, with another 2014 study putting the salary gap at 12%.

In 2008, the Harvard Business Review published a landmark report on women in tech, “The Athena Factor,” which found that the mid-career point is the most dangerous time for women. Just as their male colleagues' careers are taking off, women's start to stall, with those who've reached the beginning ranks of management reporting feeling blocked in moving up because they don't have a mentor, a sponsor or a road map.

It's normal for people's sense of empowerment and control over their work to increase as they gain experience and expertise, and the fact that this doesn't happen for women in tech is odd and troubling, researchers say. Multiple studies have found that attrition spikes for women in tech at about age 35. After 10 years of work experience, “The Athena Factor” found, 41% of women in tech leave the industry, compared with 17% of men.

The women who leave go into other industries, and multiple studies say it's because they're unhappy with their pay and promotional opportunities. A 2013 longitudinal study found that those who leave are 165% likelier to have an advanced degree than those who stay, which suggests they may be among the most qualified. Once they leave, the research suggests they're very unlikely to return.

...

The women who quit tech aren't fragile. I think they're fed up. Why would a woman want to work for Uber, whose chief executive told GQ he calls his company “Boob-er” because his wealth makes him attractive to women?

Who would want to work for Snapchat, whose CEO, five years ago in college, sent emails to his fraternity brothers characterizing female students as “bitches” and “frigid” and “sororisluts”? Why would a woman want to attend industry conferences that feature presenters miming masturbation from the stage, or presenting apps that help users “stare at tits”?

that can't be true, given that a lot of them don't have any women coworkers to harrass
