Breaking the Myth: Women in Tech
Description
In this episode, we dive into the pervasive misconception that women aren't interested in pursuing careers in tech.
We sit down with Chanel Johnson, Software Developer and Muskan Gupta, Analyst, Deutsche Bank to unravel the societal constructs that have fueled this myth, from early discouragement in educational choices to exaggerated perceptions of the field's difficulty.
These factors contribute to a narrative that suggests women naturally shy away from tech. However, we explore how this misconception often stems from misinterpretations of women's choices, such as the impact of unsupportive work environments during crucial life stages like maternity leave. Join us as we challenge these assumptions and celebrate the diverse contributions of women in technology.
