Interesting. My company's offshore IT shop is headed by a woman and many of our talented senior developers and team leads are women of varying age, marital and parental status. I don't have much counter-evidence to this post, but it makes this operation sound atypical.<p>Either way, this was well written and will probably keep me paying more attention next time I'm over.
"You are likely to become pregnant any time and therefore a potential 3 month billing-loss candidate as far as I am concerned."<p>Do you guys think of this when hiring for one of your startups?
My experience is that in the corporate world (i.e. non software products) women dominate IT. I once had the pleasure to work in an IT department where I was the only male.
