Being a CIO or a self-employed entrepreneur was the most popular
ambition in a survey of 400 women working in the technology
industry.
The women were questioned at the recent W-tech event and 14%
said they wanted to be an entrepreneur, running their own business
or a CIO.
Next most popular was project management, with 12% of the vote.
Maggie Berry, director of womenintechnology.co.uk, which conducted
the survey, said: "The results highlighted how ambitious women in
IT are. It also goes to show just how many different career paths
IT can offer."
The rest of the survey answers spanned a wide range. They
included consultancy, coaching and mentoring, and professional
blogging.
W-tech was a careers and networking event aimed at women. It
was organised by the BCS Women's Forum and online job board
womenintechnolgy.co.uk.
