A5. I ran into stereotyping when I was a network admin, but it's present in any career. I've found amplification () to be helpful, especially on teams with only two or three women. Women must support other women.

Women who work in male-dominated sectors of commercial real estate tell of being locked out of deals, of being condescended to, of having to prove their skills and then prove them again.
A strong network of women is a powerful tool. Through Forté you can connect with, learn from, and motivate over 100,000 like-minded women from college to the C-suite 👩💼 💪
A10. My *favorite* thing about technology is that it never stops evolving. New careers emerge at an astonishing rate, and there's always something to learn. And when I can use my

According to the

Right now, women earning nearly 20% less than men, and this gap is wider for women of color.
