“Can I vent? All of the emotions from my now former tech career. : r/womenintech”
The story here is, TBH, more the norm for women in tech than not.
If you want as close to an A/B test in misogyny in industry as you can get, talk to trans women. Legit the same exact person before and after, and many many of us watch our careers stall out. I've seen my raises and bonuses halt entirely for the last 5 years while team members get raises and bonuses. I had a great grand boss directly interfering with my work and bashing my communication styles when I asked many of my colleagues and they said they saw nothing different in how I communicated than a great many of my men colleagues.
Now I daily consider how much longer I'll make it in tech.

SO. FUCKING. MUCH. THIS.
The day I came to work as myself for the first time I went from being the project lead and expert that everyone deferred to to having every single idea being questioned or completely ignored. In one day. On the same team.
That was almost 6 years ago... I could write a dissertation on the difference in how women and men are treated in the workplace especially in the tech sphere at this point.
