There’s an indisputable gap between the number of male and female employees in technology and we need more women working at tech companies to close that gap. This session supports closing that gap by helping women manage a career in tech. How? By analyzing one simple decision – does tech fit into family or does family fit into tech? That is the main basis of all the other decisions a woman will have to make at different points in her life. There is no right or wrong path but navigating each starts with recognition. Whether you’re already in tech, thinking of starting a career in tech, or would like to transition into tech, the choices you make are different at every stage of life. Judith will arm you with tools that will help you navigate those choices, including a list of questions every woman should ask themselves. Judith will include the different avenues to working at a tech company; whether it’s engineering, product development, marketing, or the road to becoming a CEO.
