Get on tech projects and learn. Have a discussion with your leader and let them know what you'd like to do. Good leaders will help you get on projects so you can achieve your goals.

I’m four months into my job and I got put onto a PIP.

Been for a company for over 2years. The executive team is very much a boy's club. There are a few women in management roles but zero ethnicity diversity there. I raised my concern to HR in feb.
