Recommendation

Hear the voices of women recount their stories of triumph, and, alas, frustration, as they navigate their technology careers. Alana Karen, a director of search platforms at Google, recounts how women succeed in tech careers and why they stay despite the myriad challenges the industry presents, including an inhospitable work culture, persistent pay inequity, and the daily demands of balancing work and home responsibilities. Karen surmises that resolving these issues will require the collective effort of tech companies and women in senior roles to foster inclusivity and improve overall diversity.

Take-Aways

  • Careers in technology offer women opportunities to immerse themselves in innovative and fast-paced work cultures.
  • Alas, women are often hesitant to promote themselves and their successes at work.
  • Women in tech feel the onus is on them to pave the way for future generations.
