    Do you dream of a career in tech?

    We know that entering a new field can feel a little bit daunting.

    To help, we’ve invited four trailblazing women in tech to share their inspirational stories, and explain exactly how they found their dream career: Brandi Richardson, Software Engineer at Microsoft; Dalia El-Shimy, Head of UX Research at Miro; Kylie Weber, Product Designer at Syndic4you, and Jessie Auguste, Software Engineer at CybSafe.

    On September 8th at 18:00 CEST we'll be hosting a CareerFoundry live panel: Women in Tech: Advice on How to Career Change where you'll learn exactly how to accomplish your career goals and successfully make the transition into the tech industry.

    You’ll discover how Kylie went from working in hospitality to becoming a UI designer (by taking the CareerFoundry UI Design Program!), how Dalia went from working in academia to becoming the Head of UX Research at Miro, how Brandi went from working at Delta Airlines to working as a Software Engineer at Microsoft, and how Jessie transitioned from studying psychology to becoming a Software Engineer (and co-host of the Glowing in Tech podcast powered by Coding Black Females!).

    We’ll address questions such as: Where do I start? What strengths do I bring to the industry as a career changer? How do I tackle impostor syndrome? What challenges might I encounter, and what superpowers will I bring as a woman in tech?

    Remember to bring your questions—you will get all the answers at the end of the panel during our Q&A.

    Don't miss this chance—see you there!
