Finding the job you love:

5 incredible women, 5 unique career journeys

About this event

Are you looking to find a job you’ll love?

Are you a student looking for an opportunity to jumpstart your career?

Or are you already working and looking to take the next step in your development journey?

Welcome to our next interactive and deeply personal speaker night, where you will have the opportunity to meet 5 incredible women and learn about their career journeys. You will have a chance to ask them for career advice or questions you might have about how they took ownership over their personal and professional development. Each career journey comes with diverse challenges and opportunities, and you’ll learn about how these female tech leaders successfully navigated them, from becoming a working mother, to pivoting roles across departments.

We for sure already have a few questions we’d be interested in. For instance, what is it like balancing work and family? How has your experience in one field enabled you to pivot to a different role, such as going from legal counsel to software PO? How do you experience being a minority in your field? What advice would you give your 20-year-old self?

As we imagine your questions might even go deeper, we encourage you to send them in beforehand in order for the speakers to prepare. You can do that through the comment field when getting your free ticket or through all our social media channels @femaletechleaders.

If you are looking to get some inspiration and have an open exchange about a career in tech – this is the event for you!

We will meet virtually on the 1st of July via Zoom, the link will be shared with all participants shortly before the event. We are looking forward to an interactive presentation, Q&A session with our amazing panelists and to “seeing” you all!

During her trainee, she was in different positions and locations, driving innovative topics in the factories like implementing smart scans or developing concepts for smart glasses use cases in the production. “Coming from an IT department and moving to sales, was a very bold step for me, but it enlarged my horizon enormously and pushed me to think more out of the box.”
