Why do women still feel they must have 100% of the qualifications to apply for a position when men apply for these same positions with only 60%? What does ambition mean today for women and how has that evolved with the workforce over time? Is the framing of success and ambition throughout childhood different for young men and women? At Women Talk Tech we've been thinking a lot about the idea of ambition, and we want to hear from you! That's why we have launched the Women Talk Tech Ambition Survey, to understand how ambition, what we know of it, and the biases it entails, factors into the progression of women in the workforce. What does ambition mean to you? Take the anonymous survey now and let us know: https://c634ck19z5u.typeform.com/to/cv82hYoM
