 >"</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: windowtext
 ; text-decoration: none;">Abstract: Women are vastly underrepresented in le
 adership positions, but little is known about when and why gender gaps in c
 areer progression first emerge in the leadership hierarchy. I collect new d
 ata from a large multinational firm that combines detailed personnel record
 s with the universe of internal application and job vacancies. By construct
 ing a granular measure of job hierarchy, I document that women at lower hie
 rarchy levels are 29% less likely to apply for promotions. No such gap sexi
 st among employees who already hold leadership positions, indicating the pr
 esence of a broken rung rather than a glass ceiling. Both realized applicat
 ion patterns and large-scale surveys at the firm reveal that taking on lead
 ership of a team is less appealing to women than men at lower hierarchy lev
 els. This difference is large and not explained by a range of other factors
 , such as family status, risk preferences, or confidence. These findings su
 ggest that the current architecture of leadership positions is an impedimen
 t to equal representation</span></p>
