I work for a small higher ed institution. At the last higher ed tech summit I attended, there was a breakout group for women to discuss why they chose to work in higher ed. A few observations from the group:

  • There were a lot more of us than we expected!
  • Many of us had previous bad experiences with tech jobs at tech companies
  • Most of our institutions used at least one open source solution; several encouraged contributing back
  • There are a wide array of tech jobs (including leadership positions) at many institutions - our group had a diverse array of titles and roles

So if your local college or university is hiring for tech-related staff positions, it's worth taking a look!
