I went when I was in college and I had a scholarship that paid for it. It was excellent and I highly recommend it! Huge conference, great speakers, great networking opportunities, and the biggest career fair I've ever been to with the most eager recruiters. I had multiple interviews at the conference itself and I didn't even have my bachelor's degree yet.

If your company doesn't already offer to pay your way to conferences, you should ask. If you have a Women in Engineering organization, see if you can get the organization to sponsor a trip. It's well worth it

Thanks for sharing! I definitely want to go next year!

I went one year and enjoyed it deeply. My company did pay for the registration fee, travel, and lodging. They were recruiting at the conference and I helped interview candidates for a few hours.

I would love to go! But our company doesn't pay for it, they barely even mention it.

I've always wanted to attend, but never had the financial means. I wish more companies would be willing to invest in stuff like this. It can only benefit them in the long run.

Having an Interview this week, and don't know how high I should set my salary expectations. I currently earn 24k/annum base + comission. Would it be unreasonable to say that I have 30k + comission atm? I think it also hardly depends on the location, I am currently working from Poand but would be working for a swiss company.
Currently have about 7months exp. and thoughts on this?
Appreciate the input
