I don't know if your numbers ...Thanks, TimBo. <br /><br />I don't know if your numbers are correct, or not. I'm a Solutions Architect, and the only woman on a team of 18. That ratio has steadily decreased in the last 15 years, as my skills have improved and I'm in a position to command a higher salary. Being the token chick really blows.<br /><br />And at least in my specific area of expertise (contact center), project managers are not typically considered engineering resources.

In fact he built a machine and one was built recently.<br /><br />My experience after consulting in IT for mostly Fortune 100 companies over the last 25 years is that there are almost no female programmers. Maybe 10% in systems & networks, 30% as Project Managers, 50% Data Analysts, 60% Business Analysts, 80% Quality Assurance (the lowest paying area), almost no Enterprise Architects, 10% Solution Architects.<br /><br />Perhaps there are better sources of data than my limited experience, but I'd bet the numbers are pretty close.TimBohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128235274340905534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-51031919374620892172014-10-08T16:12:24.057-06:002014-10-08T16:12:24.057-06:00We knew our Alysia was gay long before she was up ...We knew our Alysia was gay long before she was up to discussing it.
