Women returners in tech

Is anyone else noticing a trend for women returning to work after child-rearing years getting into deep geek tech?

I’m my area of the UK it’s a big thing, and seems to be escalating.

Bloody brilliant area to get skilled up in once your kids are older and you’re ready to dig in again.

Anyone else in this sphere? My feeling is that it’s a major opportunity for smart women who’ve been out or the workplace for a while, but have time and opportunity to re-train in exciting new fields with high demand and low supply.

It's exactly what I did last year. I didn't come straight into it though after time off with the kids, but wish I had. It's been such a good fit, especially over lockdown.

And I'm in my element playing with computers, wish I hadn't been discouraged from it at school. Just imagine where I'd be in my career if I'd started straight out of school rather than waiting until my late 30's to start.

What courses did you have to do to be employable?
