Valuable Tips for Young Women in Tech Industry


Microsoft
Most of them believe that a woman can’t be successful in the tech industry as it is only meant for men.  
This blind belief has been evacuated by majority of the women, who had taken it as a challenge to show even they can achieve the success as equally as the men folk in this industry. But, there are few women who feel burnout in day to day work pressure, especially in a tech profession. Marissa Mayer, Vice President of Google gives few tips to the women who find it pretty hard to maintain the burnout in an interview with the Buzzfeed website. In that interview, she also quoted that, when she joined the Google in 1999, she became the first woman engineer and also the first woman employee.
 
Here are few tips she suggested the women in the tech field to be happy at work, in that interview.

1. Gain an opportunity to work with smart people:

It is always suggested by everyone that if you start working with the smart people around you, it is very helpful in your future work. If you think you are not smarter enough to analyze the work you complete, ask any one of your smart colleague to get suggest his or her opinion about your finished work. You will be lucky enough if you get along with a smart person [intellectually smart] so that you would have lot more things to learn out from his or her work. Avoid being foolish thinking you are dumb, so it is better to stay with another dumb person rather than a smart person.

2. Push yourself to do something great every time:

If you have been fed up of completing the same old usual tasks, why don’t you drive yourself forward to do something very unique which everybody likes to? If you show your courage in taking up new difficult tasks, you will be definitely involved in the work you do as it keeps you engaged in the work in whatever work you do and also it can make you more confident in the work you do.

3. Select a perfect place where you can share your opinions:

At the present day, most of you will be just completing the work that is assigned to you. But why don’t you move a step forward to give your own opinions to the respective person so that he or she thinks on it. It’s true that, it is pretty difficult to find a perfect place to establish your opinion, but it will be always good if you find one, so that even your career can grow simultaneously along with your company.

4. Work for an employer who appreciates your success and also makes you more responsible:

In many companies at present, you may find that the employers are showing interest in their employees’ success. But if you are working in a company which is least bothered about your success, then it is a perfect time to look for a better job. If you work in a company which applauds your talent, then it is a best place to work and stick on with that company until you are confident in your professional life.

5. Make yourself free to engage in the work you love:

Many of you forget in self happiness when you work for others satisfaction and one fine day you might be fed up of your monotonous work and feel desperate to take a break from everything for some time. So, it’s always better to find some quality time to engage yourself in the work you love to do in the middle of your regular duties. This practice can keep you fresh and you can gain some valuable energy you need to start off with your monotonous work.
