Well, what do you want to do with your life? What do you WANT your career to look like in the next 5 years? Making sure you understand and optimize for this is very important so it's not left up to chance.

I plan things out to a tee. Whether good or bad, I know exactly where I'll be every day for the next 4 months by the half hour. I am deliberate and intentional about the things I invest my time in. I spend quite a good bit of December planning out what my entire year looks like. If you don't love what you're doing, stop and re-evaluate. Get to a place where you find daily happiness. Life is short.

Dunja Radulov yes of course we should always involve men who are allies and want to help as well! sometimes it's important to create safe spaces for women to grow OUT of. :)

Mac monitor, macbook pro. That's all!

Do what you love, and what you are passionate about. Typically, your journey doesn't start until you actually start it. There are many paths in tech. Just jump in and see what happens! The worst thing that could happen is you mess up and have to start over. But that's life in a nutshell.

Being an asshole.

We work with the best of the best, and have higher standards of what qualifies as a 'senior' developer. We consist of people who believe in open source and who are writing the technologies most developer use. We have a wide variety of developers, from the top to mid level developers available. We believe in educating your team in how to do things right, and leaving you better off than when you started working with us. We believe in creating inclusive architectures that are more sustainable for your applications in the long run and easier for all (PMs, designers, juniors) to contribute to. We are women owned and run - which means that when you hire us, you are always helping women in tech succeeed. When you hire us, you are funding the apprentice program, which helps women in tech get their first job.

Absolutely! Ben Lesh and I recently gave a talk at WorkerConf about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufeP-mQu20k

dinkin' flicka salary would very much depend on where that person is located. rates for hourly work - it would very much depend on what type of work you are doing! there is no silver bullet, only testing and optimizing for what works for you in your use case.

Self doubt is always a thing, but owning who you are as a woman and taking advantage of the advantages you have as being a woman in tech! There are plenty! :)
