Want More Women Working in Tech? Let Them Stay Home

PowerToFly connects working moms to tech jobs that allow for remote work as a way to close the industry’s gender gap.

This article thrills me enough that I plan on signing up for the site myself. I don’t think this is a sexist thing, because the reality is that most women are the caregivers for their kids, and so theirs are the jobs that are given up or suffer at the hands of parenthood. I know that being a remote worker has been great for me and allowed me to not only catch up in my career, but advance as well. Definitely an interesting article to read and consider.
