Tech is a high paying profession. Women tend to be hypergamous. Thus, their male partner will earn even more than their high paying professional self. This means that they often can drop out because the husband earns a fuck load. Women who work in other professions might still be hypergamous but because they’re not high paying professionals then they are not attracting very high paying professionals who can afford the SAHM lifestyle. It’s not really rocket science. If I see a manager then they’re paired with a director. If I see a senior IC then they’re paired with a manager or a staff+. It’s super common even in SV. I rarely see women in higher level/paid roles compared to their husband. At best - the woman will have a higher title but the husband still makes more.
