The 19 Levers for Thriving (vs. just Surviving) in Tech

1:30pm - 2:30pm, Tsungming Tu Complex, Robinson Wing - 253 (TTC Robinson)
We will discuss the 3 biggest hurdles graduates face as they transition to internships or full-time work, and the requirements (beyond technical skills) to thrive in early careers. We will illustrate, through the lived experiences of “wise” women, how they used some of these levers to progress quickly to positions of influence during internships, and later to tech leads/first line managers. Most importantly, we will discuss which investments in leadership development during college years have the highest payoff, especially for women, where the journey is more difficult.
