Unicorn.... Nah, I'm kidding fortunately for women there's no strong stereotypes. There were enough women in my gigs that the individuality was easily apparent.

Since that's isn't really fun I'll pull some very broad strokes descriptions out my rear end and see which one resonates with you.

The Professional Mom: 8-4:30 on the dot but maximum effort during working hours and never ever seen goofing off or chit chatting (lunch included). Pretty chill though and smart as hell.

The boardgame/crossword girl: most likely to be gender fluid. Don't ever mistake her for "gamer girl". Will happily shoot the shit with you and goof off if you treat her like human being. Will probably have real experiences of getting work/credit stolen by tech bros.

The optimistic young coder: super jazzed about being the in the field and learning everything about anything. A people pleaser to a fault. Give it two to three years before she's completely jaded. Until then, an absolute sponge of knowledge.

The cut throat career track woman: absolutely obsessed with advancing her status. Tech bros learn brutality from these ladies. Usually transition to pure management or product divisions pretty early. Also most likely to organize the "women in tech" meetings for clout in the current company. Stay on their good side for your sake.
