Hi everyone 😊 I wanted to share some exciting news! 🎉 I have accepted a position as a Software Engineer / Data Scientist at Geotechnics. In this role, I am working on automating their manual lab processes using software and data solutions. It is initially a three-month contract, but I am really enjoying the work so far. I feel very grateful to be gaining hands-on industry experience while continuing to look for long-term opportunities 🙏✨ It feels much better to be learning, working, and growing rather than just sitting at home and searching for jobs 😊 Thank you all for your support and encouragement! 💐

It's a reoccurring story about women making themselves small, under valuing their worth, riding the waves of imposter syndrome and then occasionally feeling like the warrior goddess they are. This group as helped me embody my warrior goddess much more over the past year. My brain often feels like its melting with the work I do, hours I do, mum-life-ing I do. That there's very little room for anything else. But having a safe space of absolute joyous brain power all bustled in 1 community that I can dip into, learn from, give to, and general feel tethered too has really helped me stay on track and know my worth. The nugget of "ask for as much money as you can without laughing" stuck with me when I was working out what my next few years were going to look like. I ran with it...financial security, position, flexibility to run things my way, and lots and lots of time off (at the right times) to spend with my family. And the funny thing was... they accepted without blinking, which made me think i should of gone higher hahaha BUT, if it wasn't for the confidence this group has brought me, I 100% wouldn't of even thought to challenge the status quo. Thank you @Sue Black , thank you @Lauren Hargreaves and thank you everyone in the WiTPN xx

Hello 👋 I've been listening at recent online chats and heard that some of you are actively seeking employment or maybe a role change. Others in the Network have talked about mentoring roles working with fabulously talented Tech Women. With this is mind I thought I would start a thread here for sharing tech job opportunities that you feel might be of interest to members of the group. Ones where you have real world connections with the employers who are advertising. Perhaps helping with discovery of roles you might not previously picked up via your searches on job hunting websites. For anyone who is new to this Network, the chat yesterday evening reinforced the wealth of experience within this Network in all things connected with the application and interview processes. So if you find a role posted here that you are interested in this Network could probably boost your confidence and chances of success!

Hoping that you had an amazing first week @Lauren Hargreaves and I’m sure ours of us are dying to know how it went… ❤️
