Life Goals, Career Success, and the Future of Work
summary
IDC survey data from ~1,200 WITI members plus 250 men and a 400‑company IT spend sample shows 21% women in tech, a drop in CS grads from ~33% (1985) to ~18% now, and an expected 600,000 new US tech management jobs over ten years. Women report higher pay concern, only 17% share compensation versus 44% of men, 48% report workplace sexual harassment, and the single strongest driver of women’s satisfaction is more women in senior leadership.
