I'd suspect both. Women in tech are more closely scrutinized out of the sheer virtual of being a novel demographic within a company. Upon close scrutiny it is discovered that these women are actually amazing practitioners, because all the women who were on the wrong side of the bell curve dropped out under their close scrutiny experienced in high school or university. Thus women are promoted faster. It's survivor bias. Most people have a 'spotlight effect' in that they believe they are noticed more than they really are, but for a woman in tech it might actually be true.
