Whether you are looking for new opportunities such as a promotion, better work/life balance, buy-in on a new project, more support, or credit for your work, this talk will offer concrete strategies on how to reach your goals.</p> <p>The speaking segment will be from 6:00-7:00pm with Q&A to follow.</p> <p>PDXWIT is a community-based non-profit organization. Our purpose is to strengthen the Portland women in tech community by offering educational programs, partnerships, mentorships, resources and opportunities. We are unifying a supportive environment for current and potential women in tech, all of whom are committed to helping each other. Our goal is to bring together and empower women in tech and to encourage others to pursue tech careers. This is our step towards reducing the gender imbalance in the industry and addressing the current negative effects of that imbalance on women.</p> <p>Trans and non-binary people are always welcome at our events.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pdx-women-in-tech-pdxwit-negotiation-strategies-for-managing-your-career-tickets-34781405119">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
