The direct opposite. In the UK tech market there is almost a desperation to hire female staff. The handful of female devs I've come across are generally paid more than what a male with the same level of experience would purely because companies are desperate to cling on to the precious few females that exist in the market.

In my time I've advertised over a hundred dev vacancies. I can honestly count on one hand the number of female applicants that applied.
