I've noticed that I rarely come across women Principal Engineers or senior individual contributors (ICs) with 15 to 20+ years of experience.

Do many women developers tend to move into engineering management after 10–15 years, or is my observation just due to the companies I've worked at?

For those with long careers in tech, what has your experience been? What factors do you think contribute to this?

Plenty of staff+ level cis women in Big Tech and banks, and yes the gender ratio is still lopsided there. There is a large supply of male STEM graduates to begin with, and the funnel got narrower from there.

On freelancing websites, there are many women developers. they are over 30%. I `m also Women.

The boys’ club is for boys..?

I’ve hated the imbalance my entire career. There are many more women in big companies as opposed to start ups, but the ratio is still massively skewed to men.

I’ve also noticed a big drop off in the number of women applying to junior roles. 5-10 years ago it was better. Not quite parity, but not the sausage fest it had been before and again now.
