I used to mentor new grads through an alumni program tied to my alma mater. As a women in Tech, I always told my mentees to be adaptable because tools in tech change quickly & to stay curious. I stopped encouraging women to enter tech after being replaced by H1Bs 2x after being forced to train them to collect severance pay. I eventually quit mentoring because I didn’t see the point of encouraging young minds in a field I was being defeated by & it did not feel right to lie to them about a bright future in Tech. Now on my 3x being replaced by an H1B & there are legitimately no jobs hiring an experienced American woman in Tech. It’s horrific. I’m now just trying to figure out how I will make money & pay bills the next 15-20yrs of my life. This is not the “American dream” we were all promised! Politicians sold us down the river!
