male and female responses separately. So, hypothetically and based on the data, if we looked at 400 writers, 8 of them would be directors. Of those 8, 6 would be women, and 2 would be men: a 3:1 ratio.<\/p><p>But if we looked at team leads in the same 400 writers, there would be 51 of them: 36 women and 15 men.<\/p><p>So while the ratio at the director level matches the general ratio, men are slightly overrepresented at the senior and team lead level.<\/p><p>Another way to look at the numbers is to consider the entire pool. If we look at the roughly 12,000 survey respondents, <strong>about 3,900 would be seniors. Of those, 2,790 would be women and 1,110 men: a 5:2 ratio<\/strong>.<\/p><p>This means that, though equality is generally high regarding education and experience among writers working in tech, <strong>there&#8217;s still room for improvement in seniority<\/strong>.<\/p><p><span style=\"color: inherit; font-size: 2rem;\">Salary negotiation and happiness<\/span><\/p><p>When it comes to striking a deal, the difference between genders is slight. 45% of both women and non-binary respondents negotiated their salaries, compared to 49% of men.\u00a0<\/p><p>But who\u2019s happier? Again, it\u2019s about the same.\u00a0<\/p><p>When asked if they were happy with their current income, on a scale of 1\u20135 (not at all \u2013 very much so), both men and women scored 3.6 on average. Non-binary and other respondents were a slight tick happier at 3.7.<\/p><h2 style=\"color: #7a7a7a;\">At the office (home or otherwise)<\/h2><p><b>On-site, hybrid, or remote?<\/b> There was a slight difference.\u00a0<\/p><p>76% of women reported working remotely, compared to 72% of men. Perhaps the mom factor explains the 4% difference.<\/p><p>And what about industry? Do men and women have different preferences when it comes to working in fintech vs. edtech?\u00a0<\/p><p>Fintech was the top industry for both, with 21% of men and 19% of women working in that field. E-commerce was the second most popular for both as well. Of the most popular industries for UX and other writers in tech, only in healthcare did we see a significant difference, with 7% of women and 4% of men choosing that industry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d453a0d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d453a0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"800\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/industry-1024x633.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-27699\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/industry-1024x633.png 1024w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/industry-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/industry-768x475.png 768w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/industry-400x247.png 400w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/industry-150x93.png 150w, https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/industry.png 1395w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8573934 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8573934\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">Otherwise, there are no significant differences in gender when it comes to which industries writers in tech work in.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, we asked respondents if they feel like they have a say in product design decisions.
