If you’re not feeling the fire, then Host Chelsea Behrens’ guest on this episode of The 2x Women in Tech Podcast has a strong suggestion: Time to move along! Jennifer Smith has found career fulfillment at every juncture because of a few simple things she brings to every job: Confidence that she has something to contribute, curiosity about new things, and excitement about problem-solving. Currently Senior VP of Revenue Effectiveness at Payscale, her career has evolved organically from selling booking software in the infancy of online travel through a series of challenging roles that ultimately led her to Payscale – doing a job she loves for a company whose mission (pay equity and transparency) she finds meaningful. 

You’ll learn about the values and wisdom Jennifer brings in mentoring her team members, whose advancement is a personal passion. She also shares candid thoughts on “seasons of life” and how they factor into the choices all parents have to make when it comes to modulating their careers. The episode wraps up with some fundamental – and tremendously important – tips for women interested in pursuing a career in tech – especially those who are letting Impostor Syndromes or fear of change keep them stuck! Says Jennifer: “People think women in tech are all deep in technology knowledge. No! Tech is all roles. There’s so much opportunity … that doesn’t require that specific skill set.” For episode resources and more info, visit our 2x Women in Tech website
