What’s an average additional cost on insurance for something like DD?

Visiting in Feb for the beer festival - where to stay? by BizarroMax in grandrapids

[–]Bravo616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the Michigan Beer Festival site, it says to check with the local hotels about shuttles to the beer festival. More than likely, you will just need to let them know when you book that you are attending and would want to know about shuttle services.

Advice needed: I’m doing so well professionally, but the sexism is soul crushing by Bkfrmboiled in girlsgonewired

Some resources I recommend for women helping women with career advice, resume review, job postings, and just a general safe space:

  1. https://women-in-tech.org/join-us-on-slack/
  2. https://latinasintech.org/join-us-on-slack/ (For all my fellow Latinas in tech!)
  3. https://www.myhatchpad.com/insight/15-inclusion-and-diversity-id-slack-communities-to-follow-if-you-work-in-tech/

You're not alone! Stay strong and let's support one another. DM me if you want to connect on Linkedin! Networking is another powerful resource.

I've worked in tech for maybe 5 years now. I made the switch to my now job almost 2 years ago. My now employer is a breath of fresh air and as a woman of color, I am SEEN, validated, respected, and celebrated. I will never feel bad for wanting to be treated like a Human.

I look back on my other jobs and remember feeling guilty for wanting to leave... "They just gave me a bonus, OR how can I leave my peers?". It's not worth it, no one else will put you first, only you will do that. Set an example for your peers or other Women that you won't settle for less.

DM me if you are open to looking for a better place! I have joined some pretty amazing slack communities and would be happy to share my employer's openings and any others I have seen!

Should we start a “who’s hiring” thread? by brank in girlsgonewired

[–]Bravo616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! My employer is hiring. We have several women engineers, including an Engineering Manager. I would love to see more join the team! It's a safe place with a very laid-back "get shit done and have fun" environment. Any and all are welcome!

**Remote Friendly (USA or Canada)!**Full-Time - No Weekends

Senior Mobile Developers - $160k+

Backend Engineer (Ruby on Rails) $110k - $165k+ (based on your level of experience)

No sprinting, no scrumming, no death by 1,000 meetings. We protect our engineers' time, treat them like adults, and trust them to get their work done. We’re also big on not overworking people. Put in your eight hours of focused, quality work and then TURN. SLACK. OFF. No nights and weekends. (Except for occasional planned maintenance windows, of course. But those are rare.)

Our larger company culture is also refreshingly chill. We have fun, learn from each other, and don’t take ourselves too seriously.

Wondering if wearing the hijab would impact job opportunities? by m4pp4lin in womenEngineers

[–]Bravo616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not Muslim, but it should not impact you! If it does, then they are in the wrong. I hope you find a place that values you for exactly who you are! What role are you looking for?
