“Welcome to the the re:Invent AWS Certification Lounge! We’re so glad to have another certified woman in the ranks — there are so few of you!”
Seriously? I love the rockstar status as much as the next girl, but where were rest of the women leading this digital revolution in the cloud? Are there really so few women in technology with these valuable AWS Certifications? Say it ain’t so #WomenWhoCloud.
“I’m not a woman engineer, I’m an engineer.”
This is going to sound silly, but I didn’t know I was a Woman in Tech until a few years ago when a friend told me that it was a “thing”. My gender isn’t a consideration in the workplace until others remind me — but my experience at re:Invent wasn’t the first time and unfortunately, it won’t be the last.
