About this session

As a woman in technology I have watched my fellow women be pressured to take on management roles - which can be difficult to decline if you don’t have an alternative plan. However, managing people comes with a completely different skills set than the individual contributor role many of us start our careers with. I hope this talk gives you an opportunity to evaluate if management or individual contributor is a better career path for you and next steps to get there.
