Read Original

The author, a senior engineer, details the intense backlash she received after publishing a blog post giving direct advice to junior women in tech: 'tough it out,' stay technical, and later use seniority to advocate for others. She analyzes the criticism, from initial positive feedback to accusations of insensitivity, and reflects on the controversy surrounding her blunt take on career strategy in a 'fallen world.'
