Besides me, it seemed all the women replied on this thread love their jobs and would encourage their children to major in computer science.

So why did the data show women leaving IT?

I was good at Math too when I was at high school so I chose IT when I went to college.  I started as COBOL programmer, then database developer in both Oracle and SQL Server, now I work as data warehouse developer.  I love programming but it is the IT or company culture that makes me sick.

Maybe it was my bad luck that I never had a good job or good boss, I got burnt at all my job.  I got bullied at one of my job by a male DBA and his brother.  No one took me serious when I was the only woman in the group.   I would not complain if all the male developers were talented.  But I had to work twice as hard to show my skills to the management just to compare with the average or even low skill male developers.  Still the company would value them more.

Although money is not everything, but I am still angry why man earn more than woman at the same position.

At my company, all the upper management of IT are all men.  That's it, I am going to quit today !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
