  • Tech's Uneven Terrain: Navigating Gender Gaps and Emerging Hotspots

    Tech's Uneven Terrain: Navigating Gender Gaps and Emerging Hotspots
    2025/07/09
    This is your Women in Business podcast.

    Welcome to Women in Business. Today, we’re tackling a topic vital to our future: how women are navigating the current economic landscape in the tech industry.

    Let’s get right into it. In 2025, women make up just about 35 percent of the U.S. tech workforce—a big leap from the early 2000s, when the figure stood at only 9 percent, but still far from parity. At major tech companies like Amazon, women represent 45 percent of the workforce, but just 33 percent at companies like Google and Microsoft. Leadership tells a similar story: women hold only 28 to 34 percent of executive positions at these tech giants. The numbers drop to just 8 percent for chief technology officers, and only 17 percent of tech companies have women CEOs. That means when you look at the very top, women remain a minority voice.

    Why does this gap persist? One of the biggest reasons is the pipeline issue—too few women pursue computer science or engineering degrees. Only 21 percent of recent computer and information science bachelor’s graduates are women. But the challenge goes beyond college. A survey by WomenTech Network found that 72 percent of women experienced gender bias impacting their promotion or leadership opportunities, while 58 percent said they don’t have equal access to networking or mentorship. If you’ve ever felt imposter syndrome, you’re not alone—85 percent of women surveyed reported struggling with self-doubt at some point in their careers.

    But even with these hurdles, women in tech are making remarkable advances. Cities across the U.S., from Little Rock to Columbia, are now emerging as hotbeds for women in tech, offering competitive salaries and greater gender diversity. In places like San Jose, not only are the salaries record-high, but the momentum for women’s representation in tech is finally picking up. Flexible work and remote options, which became common during the pandemic, have also opened new doors—though they bring new challenges, like burnout and balancing home responsibilities.

    Speaking of balance, work-life policies are a double-edged sword for women in tech. While remote work unlocks flexibility, 67 percent of women say these same policies can hinder their path to leadership. Why? Because organizational culture often lags behind the policies themselves, making it tough for women to get the sponsorship and recognition needed to break the glass ceiling.

    Before we close, let’s get practical. If you’re a woman in tech or aiming to get there, seek out allies and surround yourself with advocates—those who’ll mention your name in a room full of opportunity. Remember, the battle for equity isn’t just about numbers, but about breaking down persistent barriers, building networks, and lifting each other up as we go.

  • Shattering Tech's Glass Ceiling: Your Roadmap to Rise and Thrive

    Shattering Tech's Glass Ceiling: Your Roadmap to Rise and Thrive
    2025/07/07
    This is your Women in Business podcast.

    Welcome to Women in Business. Today, let’s get right to it: navigating the tech industry as a woman in the current economic landscape is both a challenge and a call to action. While the overall labor force worldwide is about 42% female, women hold just 26 to 28% of tech roles globally. In the U.S., that share is about 35%, and women remain a minority in major companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Google. Even among the giants, such as Amazon and Facebook, female representation rarely crosses the 45% mark. Despite ongoing diversity efforts, progress is slow, and many still feel the weight of being underrepresented in a field that drives much of the world’s innovation.

    Yet, the tech industry isn’t standing still, and neither are women. In places like Columbia, South Carolina and Little Rock, Arkansas, we’re seeing real growth, both in job opportunities and in women’s earnings. Lexington Park, Maryland, now features an impressive 41% female representation in local tech roles with female tech salaries surging by 167%. These numbers highlight that the regional landscape matters; women looking to break into, or rise within, tech can benefit from considering these emerging hubs that are rapidly improving gender diversity and pay equity.

    But let’s talk advancement. Women are still significantly underrepresented in leadership and technical positions. According to the WomenTech Network survey, 72% of women have experienced gender bias affecting their advancement, and 70% believe the path to promotion lacks transparency. Only about 17% of tech companies feature a woman as CEO, and just 8% at the chief technology officer level. This glass ceiling isn’t just about statistics. It’s deeply personal—more than half of respondents reported facing discrimination or harassment that hindered their careers, and a staggering 85% have struggled with imposter syndrome or self-doubt. That’s not just a barrier; it’s a mountain.

    Access to mentorship and networking remains a decisive factor. Women report much less access to these professional lifelines than men, which impacts everything from visibility to stretch assignments. According to advice from the WomenTech Network, it’s essential to surround yourself with peers willing to advocate for you, to mention your name in rooms full of opportunity. Building professional networks is not optional anymore—it’s strategic survival.

    Finally, work-life balance continues to shape women’s trajectories. While remote work provides flexibility, it also brings new pressures and, for many, burnout. More than two-thirds of women surveyed say work-life policies inadvertently hold back their leadership prospects. If companies want to encourage a truly diverse pipeline, this is an area demanding real innovation.

    If you’re listening and you’re in tech—or want to be—here are five questions we should all be thinking about: What structural barriers are still holding women back, and how can they be dismantled? How do regional trends and opportunities impact women’s career paths in tech? What can women do to build stronger networks and mentorship circles right now? How should companies make promotion and leadership tracks more transparent and accessible? And finally, how can we rewrite what healthy work-life balance looks like for women aiming at leadership?

  • Decoding the Tech Landscape: Women Navigating Challenges and Change

    Decoding the Tech Landscape: Women Navigating Challenges and Change
    2025/07/06
    This is your Women in Business podcast.

    Welcome to Women in Business. Today, we're diving straight into the world of tech, where women are not only making waves but also rewriting the rules, even as economic headwinds persist. When you think of influential women in tech, names like Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code, and Kimberly Bryant, who launched Black Girls CODE, immediately come to mind. But beyond these visionaries, there are hundreds of thousands of women working every day in the tech industry, navigating both opportunity and challenge in equal measure.

    Here’s where we stand: according to the latest CompTIA State of Tech Workforce report, women now hold nearly 27% of all tech occupations in the United States, with about 343,889 women working as software developers—the largest number of women in any single tech job. Yet, women make up only about 21% of software developers nationally. When it comes to other roles, like systems analysts and engineers, the numbers are better—around 39% of professionals in these roles are women. And in fields like data science and web design, women approach nearly half the workforce. Still, progress is slow, and the tech sector remains largely male-dominated.

    As we explore how women are navigating today’s economic landscape, consider these discussion points. First, let’s talk about representation and pay equity. While cities like San Jose and Little Rock are making progress, offering competitive salaries and fast wage growth for women in tech, the national picture reveals ongoing gaps in both pay and advancement. The question is: how do we continue to narrow these divides?

    Next, there’s the remote work revolution. The pandemic opened the doors for flexible work arrangements, but women in tech are still more likely to face challenges balancing career progression with caregiving responsibilities at home. What can companies and leaders do to create workplaces where women don’t have to choose between ambition and family?

    Third, let’s address mentorship and leadership. Even as more women enter tech, fewer make it to senior leadership or executive positions. Mentorship, sponsorship, and intentional professional development are critical. How can organizations ensure women have access to the networks and resources that drive careers forward?

    Then, there’s innovation and entrepreneurship. Women are increasingly founding startups—especially in health tech, fintech, and e-commerce—but still face greater hurdles in securing funding compared to their male counterparts. What strategies are working for women entrepreneurs, and how can the funding ecosystem become more inclusive?

    Finally, we have to discuss inclusive culture and intersectionality. Women of color, LGBTQ+ women, and those from other marginalized backgrounds experience the tech industry differently. Creating an environment where every woman can thrive means tackling not just gender, but the full spectrum of diversity.

    Listeners, the landscape is shifting, but we need to keep pushing. If you’re a woman in tech, considering a career switch, or leading a company looking to do better—your actions matter. Let’s continue to break down barriers together. Thank you for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a conversation that empowers.
