Wtf ? No, women do not all want to be QA, I assure you.

Of course they don't! People make their own choices!

My point was that QA teams are often more welcoming to women, and don't have a ton of male brogrammer "let's crush some LeetCode" types. This also tends to be a self-reinforcing cycle. Where would you rather go, the team that treats interviews as a hazing ritual, or the one that conducts a good conversation and respects your time?

I tried to make this more clear in my comment, since clearly I didn't do a good job of communicating it the first time.


I'm reading GP as sarcastic and saying the preëxisting sexism explains it adequately, i.e. yes sexist, but because tech not because Indian.


Yes, you put my point much more concisely – thank you!
