Even more striking, "the diversity of the company or organization" is second last for women.

> The tech industry is struggling overall with issues around diversity, and individual developers are not making it a priority when looking for a job.

So perhaps it's not the "tech industry" that's struggling, it's some vocal minority that would like to convince you it does.

that's a poor interpretation of the data.

That question is not "how satisfied are you with the state of each of these things now", it's "how much do you weight these categories when assessing new jobs". The fact that women don't put diversity at the top doesn't mean that they think that the state of diversity is good. It means that it's not a highly ranks job-selection criteria.

What people are prioritizing in a job hunt is what they're not getting in their current job. Women put "The office environment or company culture" first, men put it fourth. Why? Because women leave jobs because they get treated poorly. Men leave jobs because they think someone else will pay them more.

For most people, the priority is not in making sure their company looks like a college brochure, it's in finding a place where people will treat them with dignity.

"women leave jobs because they get treated poorly. Men leave jobs because they think someone else will pay them more"

What a stereotyping generalization.

Also, underpaying is a (fairly common) form of poor treatment.

Still a sweeping generalization - analogically, there's quite a difference between saying "most programmers are male" and "programmers are male". Having data to back up the former does not justify saying the latter

This is an excellent interpretation, thanks for sharing.

My wife works at a tech organization that is (unsurprisingly) mostly men. The data here seem to align quite well with what she has told me several times. Namely, she doesn't much care about diversity at the workplace since she feels the organization's values and culture result in her being respected and able to be a valuable member of the team regardless of who she is working with.

When she is able to work with other women in the organization, she does find that refreshing. So I think she would like to see more women among the team, but it's not something she thinks about much, putting it below other more important matters.
