A while back there was something from I think LinkedIn that looked at things like length of job search by sex. All my search attempts now come back with a flood of bs listicles, but IIRC it claimed that women tended to have slightly (but not hugely) shorter searches. Nowhere near as much of a difference as the 7x bounce rate here would lead to without a good chunk of it being people switching to continue looking elsewhere.
- dudeinjapan 4y agoIt's also plausible that women are taking negative feedback/rejection more personally is another factor for giving up early. Or women being more skewed toward negative emotion in general, which is a well-documented trait in behavioral psychology. Or being more "agreeable", i.e. being less likely to "bother" the interviewer by challenging their negative assessment. The authors of this "study" (if we can even call it that) didn't bother to ask, so we won't know.
