November 26: Women in Tech Weekly Issue 34

Welcome to another issue of Women in Tech Weekly, come and get your weekly dose of positivity and inspiration ?

This week, we have a lot of great news and reasons to celebrate! The women in the tech community never cease to amaze me and it’s such a joy to get to share their accomplishments here with you… Get motivated and learn from them and the resources they’re creating and sharing and next time, I hope I’ll see you on this list! Take a look at the submission form below ?

Featured Woman ?‍?

Lilly Seay

Lilly is an absolute badass and a software engineer turned entrepreneur. She is building her empire while living the digital nomad lifestyle and exploring the US from Airbnbs. She creates a ton of value and is a must-follow if you’re want to build your own tech company!

Celebrations ??

Christina did her first technical interview!

In her own words:

“I did a technical interview as a learning exercise. It was scary and awkward but I did it!”




I got my first web developer job! 👩🏼‍💻 There are a few really cool aspects about this job. The first is that I can work as much or as little as I want, whenever I want. I also don’t have to quit my full-time marketing job to do this job well. Now I’m learning and getting professional coding experience—and getting paid to do it. 😎 It’s also super affirming that they gave me this job at all. I did a lot of things that were outside of my comfort zone, like interviewing complete strangers to get advice and talking myself up to the head dev manager of my company. I felt really silly a lot of the time, and had (have) major impostor syndrome. It’s really rewarding to see all of those uncomfortable things pay off! So I guess I can officially call myself a developer now—I just need to get stickers for my laptop so everyone at the coffee shop knows too.

Resources ?‍?

Beginners Guide to Data Engineering – created and shared by Neha

Neha says:

“This is a blog with guidelines and resources for anyone interesting in getting into the data engineering field.”

Tiffany describes it this way:

“With so many resources out there to teach you how to code, navigating through the learning process can seem overwhelming. This ebook isn’t here to show you HOW to code (there are enough incredible resources out there for that!), and it isn’t just a little reference handbook either. It’s the best friend and mentor you can consult throughout every stage of your coding journey.”

How to Define what Success means to YOU – created and shared by me 🙂

Everybody in this world has a different definition of success and you deserve to define it for yourself. Only once you’re clear on that definition will you be able to start acting and creating a unique life and career path for yourself!


Please let me know your thoughts in the comments below and if you’d like to share something for next week’s issue, here’s the submission form!! Bookmark that and add anything you’d like to share in there ?
