    Episode 8 - Jackie Luo knows the salaries of thousands of tech employees

    This episode we talk to blogger, software engineer and our favorite burner (yes, we're talking about Burning Man), Jackie Luo, about radical pay transparency. When we don't know how much our peers are making, it disproportionally impacts minorities like women and people of color. On the contrary, when we do know how much our peers make, it gives us grounds to ask for the right 💰💰💰.

    Tech Stars Claudia and Carolina Recchi take us to school - first time founder school. These superstar sisters run through the trials and tribulations of founding Edsights together and confirm/deny some age old myths: 1. Fake it till you make it? (Yes.) 2. Ask for money and get advice, ask for advice and get money? (Not quite.) 3. Size matters? (JK we didn’t talk about this one.)

    Episode 4 - We hate tech T-shirts.

    Our first ~famous~ guest, Claire Drumond, T-shirt blogger extraordinaire, gets real about the Silicon Valley uniform. Be honest ladies, when was the last time you actually felt good about wearing one of your weirdly "women's fit" company T-shirts? Like the word fetch, we WITs need to stop trying to make tech T-shirts happen. They're not going to happen.

    Episode 3 - Lady 2 Lady

    GYWT gets real about women to women dynamics at work. Is it fair for women to be tougher on each other? Do people expect you to be friends with the other female on your team JUST because she also doesn't have a Y chromosome? Do we have a responsibility to sponsor other women and help raise each other up? (hint: the answer starts with Y and ends with ES)
