Career Paths for Women in Tech


Fifty-six percent of women in technology companies leave their organizations at the mid-level point of their careers (10-20 years). Many leave because of the culture and lack of other women in leadership roles.

When women dont see other women in the higher echelons of tech, it takes away not only a tangible, visible goal toward which to aspire, but it also makes it much harder to find an empathetic mentor.

So, what career paths can we follow as women?


Through our topic,Careers Paths for Women in Tech, we will explore our own observations, experiences, obstacles and successes in the tech industry. Let's inspire women to aim high and stay in tech.
