Interview of Lætitia Avrot And Karen Jex
summary
Claims that 56% leave 10–20 years into their careers (about double the male rate) and that 90% report imposter syndrome anchor the conversation, backed by seven pages of references. Concrete fixes include blind CV routing to guarantee first interviews, active outreach and mentorship to boost submissions, early workshops from kindergarten to change the pipeline, and retention tactics like regular positive feedback and specialist recruiters; conference speaker counts show improvement but rely on guessed gender data.
