I'm still alived. Just trying to do a PHD and work in tech at the same time. That's all. #stillalived #phdlife #WomenInTech

Congrats to the lettuce 🥬

Never thought doing my PhD work would be the relaxing part of my day. I guess, it's becoming my hidden Oasis where I can thrive without the pressure of fitting into tech corporate. #phdlife #phdchat

May everyone's Sunday be this relaxing #phdlife

It really pains me to hear "you're working too hard you make other looks bad" "you're trying too hard" when in academia these are not a problem... It's a hard curve to learn. I've learned to just focus on my personal life and cruise by at work. Cause my minimum is still too good

I heard a lot about transferable skills from PhD to industry and I wished someone told me the non-transferable skills. Being innovative, the best, pushing the level will get you punished. Mediocrity is better than being great at your job. So take the money and find hobbies

@Julie_kOuest I don't think so. They won't change but I can change jobs! :)

@vicky_desjardin Is there a policy about sexism at your workplace ? Some kind of training ? Anything ? I hope you find some way to react to this without risking your job 💛

So I was told I needed to smile more and be more peppy. Basically I did 2 undergrads, a masters, I'm halfway done a PhD just to be told to sit and look pretty. #womenintech #phdlife

@Julie_kOuest Really!!! It infuriating when my work is great, clients are happy and deadline are met. That my lack of a smile when around coworkers during in house meeting is what matters

@vicky_desjardin The right answer to this « Hard to smile when I see your face ». Crazy we still have to hear this.

@WorkBrightNZ @BotFemale It can't hurt. They consider themselves a leader in gender equality but with comments like that, I don't know

@vicky_desjardin @BotFemale I am currently working for a company where i don't get that at all. Its lovely. Maybe because it has a female founder?

I'm tired of being a woman in tech. It's exhausting. If I speak up I'm bossy, emotional and I make men uncomfortable. If I stay quiet and keep my head down, I freak everyone out cause I'm too quiet. Is there a way to win or at least be left alone? #womenintech #phdlife

So we don't have a dress code at my tech firm, doesn't stop the HR dude to comment on me wearing shorts in the office during a heatwave #womenintech #DoubleStandards

Parliament is under construction for 10 years, not nearly as impressive when you come from Montreal #Ottawa #montrealconstruction

The joy of WFH is that I can be at the garage still working and don't need to talk a half day. So my work is happy and I'm happier that my free time is now my free time

@Sarah_Connelly_ @esc_eurocrim I really wanted to go but in the end I couldn't make it happen! Enjoy!!!!!!

We are here and rearing to go. Can’t wait for the next few days ahead 🥳 @esc_eurocrim

First meeting with the supervisor since my comps exam. After 2 years I shouldn't be this nervous and yet here we are. #phdlife

I'm really into Halloween
