What women in tech do to thrive

I had a chance to talk recently with an endangered Silicon Valley species: Three tech women well into their careers.

Somehow, they have survived and even thrived.

They’ve done that in a tough environment, even for women with the best qualifications who break through and land good jobs.

The statistics are not good. A technical woman’s chance of still being in her field mid-career is 50-50, about double the attrition rate for men. And about half of those who leave drop out of their field to do something completely different.
