Thanks for the DITL. That is a good question and thought provoking topic that you brought up about senior females engineers in tech. Maybe there’s still a lot of growth that tech companies have to do in order to help/encourage and support the women in tech.
I loved this video! Regarding what you mentioned about the role models, I've been working as a Data Engineer for more than 3 years, I've worked in 4 companies and the truth is that at least in my experience, many situations have arisen in the ones that don't feel good and it's very difficult for me to find a female role model to follow. I really hope this situation improves. I loved your video and your personality, and I already subscribed to your channel, thank you very much for generating these spaces! Greetings from Argentina!🇦🇷😊
Stumbled across this video and it was interesting. My personal conviction in judging a rolemodel doesn't account for a persons gender (or other aspects such as religious or political beliefs, sxal preferences, appearance or even education), I look to their character, ambitions and accomplishments, and decide if that person is someone I would want around me or strive to become. While I sympathize with young aspiring females who find difficulty in the 'scarcity' of female rolemodels (within these male-dominant workplaces), I do think the idea to attach or lock gender to a role model is detrimental and should be abandoned. Besides, role models don't necessarily have to be those in your proximity. It's perfectly valid to look back in history or across the world and aspire to be as great as Margaret Hamilton or Grace Hopper, who pioneered the field and made significant contributions. Or even those not in your domain such as Bridgit Mendler or Francesca Albanese. Also, about the instance in your company; would it not have been possible for you to be promoted to a senior position? That way you can be the rolemodel for others joining the team. Maybe it's easier to suggest something like this here in a comment rather than in a meeting at work (might come off as too opportunistic lol, "promote me to senior so I'll be female jr devs' role model =D"), but I suppose the idea is also valid, instead of looking for a role model - become/be the role model. About the sedentery lifestyle in IT; if you have the option I recommend getting a height-adjustable desk and a walking pad. I find it to be amazing especially during the winter half of the year when the weather isn't as optimal for a run or walk like in the summer (which is what I usually do). It's very convenient and I easily hit 10k steps per day with it in the morning as I go through emails and prepare for the day.
I don’t know why I just loved your personality, voice, and the video.
Even I do morning learnings before jumping to login.
Lovely video. Cheers!
