Last Monday was very exciting. About 100 young women gathered in Monterail’s office to listen to our women experts from different fields—front-end, backend, QA, design, project management, and other roles. During the 2-hour event, we discussed possible career paths in IT industry and real life stories of getting there.

What is the purpose of “Girls in IT”?

“Girls in IT” is aimed at high-school and university female students planning their future. The idea of the event is to help them find their way and validate if IT is a good career for them.

We believe that it is extremely hard to decide on your future when you’re a teenager or a twenty-something woman. Since there is no one way to succeed and no studies guarantee a well-paid job, the only way to find a career one will love is to ask, talk, and try new things. With this initiative, we want to give those women an opportunity to find out if they find themselves in the technology world.
