“There is no one way to the top, but there is a way to the top, and it doesn’t have to be the same as everyone else’s”
— Dominique DeGuzman, Infrastructure Engineer at Twilio
In celebration of International Women’s Day 2016, during DevTO's #IWDTO event, we asked Toronto technology community members to share insights on what career success looks like. We heard a range of great opinions: everything from developing your skills to following your passion, from finding a mentor to leaning in and being bold. We’re hoping this video will encourage everyone to continue to support all forms of diversity within the tech ecosystem, and we also hope to inspire those looking to join the field.
Join us by sharing this video, and include your own commentary on this important subject. Share your thoughts with us, @rangleio on Twitter, and we'll write you back.
