Being made partner at a law firm isn’t the only position in law. People make a lot of money at every level up to that. Partner is like a cliche goal from movies. I know attorneys who work as paralegals because it’s easier and they still make six figures.

Also, women are handed jobs where they don’t pull their weight in tech all the time. If they so much as know basic html, companies will trip over themselves to hire them just to say they’re there.

    I've heard of women struggling to get hired in that field because of described misogynistic

    It's a lie. Problem is the fields full of nerds who can be pushed around. Companies trip over themselves to hire underqualified women, they just typically have no interest in tech. Most people don't tbh. The work is mentally strenuous and asocial. There's a reason nerds / awkward people thrive in it.
