We had an inspiring event at ThoughtWorks earlier this month where we heard from 7 amazing women from the ThoughtWorks team.
From a variety of background including UX design, web app development and business analysis, they spoke to us about the diverse journeys they took to get into the tech industry and gave some brilliant advice. We also got a chance to pick their brains and eat delicious pizza.
Thanks again @ThoughtWorks and to everyone who attended.
