Career Gaps, Returnship

It's common for female engineers to have career gaps after taking time to offer care giving, child rearing after pregancy. Silicon valley tech giants are offering some friendly changes to work environment: such as child care center, pregancy parking, even Returnship designed specifically for inviting women to come back to work, to engineering positions. For example, Facebook and Google both offer some returnship. Be sure to check out local, women coding meetups, groups, professional groups, which are more aware of these needs and thus offer valuable resources. Check out developer meetups and groups like Mother Who Code, Women Who Code. Another key to remember is "Never take criticism from someone you wouldn't take advice from." - Dakota Meyer, Kyle Freedman.
