This is ridiculous. Not every woman I know wants to be a manager, and despite their proficiencies, they are seen as "more personable" and implicitly, less technical. Women being pushed into management and out of technical lead roles is a very well known phenomenon in the field, and people here pretending like this is "success" seem to be very happy to ignore that this fits very nicely with the status quo of sexism.
- bluecalm 10y agoAren't management positions better paid than technical ones almost anywhere though? I realize some progressive companies try to establish engineering path and managerial path but it's still not standard. I think thinking in terms: more likely to be a manager = more successful in corporate environment is not that far fetched.
