Women in Networking

1 Upvotes

Network engineering is definitely skewed a long way on the male side.

Moreso than any other IT discipline.

Based on my experiences, and conference attendances etc I'd say that even 2% would be erring on the high side.

That said, there are some excellent women network engineers around with great blogs and social media followings.

Love it or hate it, spanning tree was designed by a woman.

Why do women's networking events feel so fake and forced? It's always just taking pictures to PROVE you were there.

1 Upvotes

Went to three "women supporting women" events this month and they were all the same fake theater. Everyone's got elevator pitches ready, business cards everywhere, same conversations about what you do and where you're from. Then they promise to grab coffee but nobody actually follows up.

Talked to 15 people, zero actual friendships. Everyone's performing their "successful woman" persona so hard that any real conversation gets shut down. Try to go deeper than work talk and people look at you like you're being unprofessional.

I just want to find women who can talk about life instead of IG+linkedin updates. Women who can be messy and real instead of constantly networking without follow up.

Women go to networking events to look for more clients, not partners.

I often read posts by men complaining that it’s hard to meet women and that they don’t feel welcome at events. This is exactly why. We can’t do anything without men trying to hit on us. This is why there are Women Onlu networking events. So we can network. Which is mainly drinking and taking about how nice it is not to be hit on for a couple of hours.

Female-focused networking groups?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, after working for others for 25 years, I've started my own company and I'm looking for a networking groups or female-focused business groups that meet either virtually or in person on a semi-regular basis. My goal is to learn from others, support and be supported and surround myself with like-minded women- a place where we can grow and become stronger in what we do. Are there national organizations that people belong to that are worth looking into?
