@techgigdotcom @JyotiChau1984 @Sindhu_RM @VMwareIN @Tesco_Bengaluru @sunjaygoyal @QuEST_Global @Altimetrik Absolutely! Few of the ways of getting recognition in this industry is through effective networking and being visible. Platforms like Techgig provides exactly that.#TechGigChat

#TechGigChat A very interesting question from one of our community members. 8. Do you think coding competitions like TechGig Geek Goddess help women in tech get better recognition in the industry? @jyo_rad @JyotiChau1984 @Sindhu_RM @VMwareIN @Tesco_Bengaluru @sunjaygoyal

@techgigdotcom @JyotiChau1984 @Sindhu_RM @VMwareIN @Tesco_Bengaluru @sunjaygoyal @QuEST_Global @Altimetrik An area which needs its due is ‘returnships’.

Around 50% of women drop out of active workforce after 5-8 years of work which should change. #TechGigChat
