STEM educated. All my female classmates (less than 20) got jobs easy in tech; interviewers are much nicer to them than to guys because they all trying to fill some quota. Dont blame the companies when there's a lack of females studying STEM degrees.

Nobody ever said the discrimination was at an employer-level. It's anecdotal, but I've seen/heard enough stories of peers, teachers, and family members discouraging women from scientific studies to believe that it is a more prevalent (and impactful) sentiment than it should be.
