Oh wow, really? So the women in tech is a growing pool? Enough to stop companies paying premium to fulfil quotas?

"To stop" - sounds like you are quiet sure that they are paying females more. From experience - no, there is no bonus, companies I know have flat basic rates for juniors, and raises based on company situation/personal achievements (or lack of them).

No it’s that companies aren’t paying a premium to fulfill quotas in the first place. The “quota” hire is being paid the same salary that a “non-quota” hire would.

No. Unfortunately, one of the sad truth is that companies hire women because they can pay them less than their male counterpart. It's a fact that women earn less than men in almost all industries.
