Again, if true, some enterprising person should have found a way to tap all the amazing talent.

Only if you actually believe the market is 100% efficient and everyone has perfect information. After a few bad experiences, someone isn't going to keep trying the same jobs, they are going to move industries.

Yes, there probably are companies out there that are good to work for as a woman in tech and they probably get some advantage from that. But it doesn't just magically solve the problem for everyone in tech and it isn't easy for everyone to find those companies that are actually good without significant investment in time and effort.

It takes time for attitudes to change, and in the meantime it's still bad for women in the industry.

What industries do they typically move to and why did they choose those industries?

Do they choose work of similar nature but in industries without the same biases or do they move to industries where the nature of the labor involved is very different?
