> 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.
