Research shows that women leave tech due to various reasons, e.g. working conditions (no advancement, low compensation), work-life balance (too much travelling, commuting), or the company environment (cultural "fit") [1]. Based on discussions we have had with users each story is unique. Many of our users are worried about getting "too old" to learn the latest technologies, and are trying to figure out how to get to a managerial position. Many of our users have also told us that by switching to a company that promotes women, and supports diversity in other ways, was a better fit for them. A career in tech can be very rewarding if you find the right environment / company / job.
