Welcome to another Monday. It's time for our weekly poll; this week, our focus is all on support, so we want to know if you feel supported in your career as a woman in tech/cyber?

Only about a month late, but totally worth the wait! Episode 2 of She is the Change is now live! We were joined by the most amazing Jemma . for an extra long episode where we talk about everything (literally)! She was such a fantastic guest, and this episode should not be missed. You can currently listen to it here: https://lnkd.in/eu2B4nJ8 And it will be live on spotify tomorrow and uploaded to youtube next week so there are no excuses not to go listen to it (we are working on apple podcasts).

🌟Happy Monday 🌟 Hope you are having a fabulous week already. We are officially in the countdown toward the holiday season and we have tons to celebrate. So in the spirit of celebration, we want you to celebrate your wins! What’s your most recent accomplishment in tech that you're proud of? Tell us what you are celebrating this week below.

🌟 Weekly Wrap Up 🌟 We are back for our weekly wrap up. First, a quick apology for being so quiet. We are still a very small team and mostly run by volunteers which means if one of us goes on holiday or gets sick (or does both back to back) it means we can be a bit quiet, but we are here and we are definitely keeping busy in the background. 1️⃣ Next Tuesday, we have our London Launch; today is the last day you can get tickets. We are really looking forward to what we are sure will be an amazing night. 2️⃣ Sign up for our first three group mentorship cohorts of 2025 will go live next week so keep an eye out. Sorry this has taken so long to get out to you all but we are really looking forward to expanding our mentorship programme even more. 3️⃣ Friday, our second episode of She is The Change will be going live. We spoke with the amazing Jemma 🦸♀️. We will also be loading the videos of episodes one and two onto YouTube if you want to see them do it live! 4️⃣ We will launch our official WiTCH Discord toward the end of the month. This will be replacing our slack and will have rooms for events and mentorship and will be where you can vote for January's book club book. 5️⃣ Last but not least, On November 27th we will launch our 2024 Feedback Survey. We want to make 2025 the best year yet, but we want to ensure we provide support, events, and resources that will make the most impact for you. Keep an eye out for the link or email!

Hard to believe that there is only one week left until we launch in London. We are so excited to be partnering with Runway East | B Corp Serviced Offices, who are hosting us, and our London ambassador, Hannah Arnold, with support from Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, who will be our amazing hostess for the evening. Join women in cyber and tech, those who are adjacent and those who are thinking about career changes for an evening of drinks and nibbles and a talk from WiTCH founder Illyana Mullins. There are just a few tickets left for what is already going to be an amazing evening full of magic, so make sure you get yours before it is too late. https://lnkd.in/gHj5NDGU

It is Monday and we are excited for a new week. After a week of holiday and a week of sickness, we are back and getting really excited for the last couple of months of the year, along with some awesome launches and more exciting news. As always it is time for our weekly poll - This week, we'd like to know how you prefer growing your professional network.

Not a WiTCH event but one you should absolutely be going to in Bristol. We went last month and we can 100% say this is where you want to be.

It is Monday, and we are keeping it simple with this week's poll: 📜 We want to know if you think a degree is necessary to get a tech or cyber security job.
