Listen "Keeping women in tech: Stories of departure & return"
Episode Synopsis
As the tech industry faces a looming talent shortage, the exodus of women from the field poses a critical challenge. Statistics reveal a staggering 50% dropout rate among women in tech by age 35, exacerbating the need for retention strategies. In this episode, we delve into the stories of departure and return, shedding light on the journey of Deepana Naidu, an Engineering Consultant, and Aparna Kulkarni, a Consultant, both from Daemon and former tech professionals who left and later rejoined the industry. Discover the factors driving women away from tech and the pivotal moments that led to their re-entry. Join us as we explore their experiences, challenges faced upon returning, and strategies to empower more women to rejoin the tech workforce. SheCanCode is a collaborative community of women in tech working together to tackle the tech gender gap.
