One thing I always advise to anyone joining CSE is to leave your ego behind.

The people you will work with are from all walks of life its what makes our organisation so vibrant and knowledgeable. We celebrate different personalities and try not to mold people by their behaviour

The number of female engineers I've met that have children and are incredible engineers just shows that women can do anything they put their minds to

You ever just sit looking at code and just have a mini tantrum in your head then carry on like the professional you are trying to be 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Tesco recently self-service tills have become the majority in the osterley branch. This has made it increasingly difficult for the old/disabled to shop. When we gave our feedback, we were told they should look to use the smaller branches. Do you not care about accessibility?

Recuiters that greet me with 'I have lot of clients who are hiring female engineers for diversity'....pardon? What about my achievements or skills as an engineer?

[Alysha Arshad @alysha_arshad]

Its just something I noticed and it was annoying but now I'm being told off 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Alysha Arshad @alysha_arshad]

Well I didn't expect that LinkedIn post to blow up like that but wow the response was insane. I didn't realise so many people felt the same

[Alysha Arshad @alysha_arshad]

I've been told:

- I have abused my freedom of speech
- I should be grateful that as a woman I get special consideration
- That women are being celebrated when approached by a recruiter for being a woman
- I should use it to my advantage

Damn can't I just be an engineer😬

[Alysha Arshad @alysha_arshad]
