Your IT career path?
Are you finishing your IT studies soon? Or perhaps you are a recent graduate? You are at a point where “everything” is possible… and that is exactly why it is so hard to decide what to do next.
See the participants’ success stories!
You have many paths ahead of you: your first job, a graduate program, further studies, or even a change of direction. It is not about a lack of opportunities, but about choosing that one first step that makes sense and provides a solid start for your development. That is why you should make this decision consciously.
Do you know what you want to do?
We ask because many of the girls we work with say: “I didn’t know what I wanted to do yet, but I knew I wanted to try and see what I could do in practice within FinTech.”
It is completely natural that you don’t know yet. At this stage, you don’t have to have everything figured out.
But it is worth being in places that allow you to see more and make a better decision.
What really matters?
At the beginning of your career, the most important thing isn’t a perfect CV. That is something you are only just beginning to work on.
What is important:
- a supportive environment where you can grow
- people you can learn from
- the opportunity to see how work looks from the inside of an organization
- space to ask questions and find your own way.
It is exactly these kinds of experiences that often determine your next steps. And the graduates of our projects recommend a space where you can experience this for yourself.
That is exactly why it is worth not only reading about opportunities but seeing them in practice.
The Women in Technology event in Krakow is the moment when you will see what working in technology looks like and which paths are possible at the start.
The event combines:
- expert keynote (Power Speech)
- discussion panel featuring the speakers
- opne Q&A session
- networking in an intimate format.
This event will help you see “what’s next.”

What do the graduates say?
Get inspired.
“I didn’t have a single plan. It was my first step.”
“I went to check it out. I stayed for longer.”
“I didn’t know where it would lead me — but it was a good choice.”
Meet the stories of girls who were once exactly where you are now. They decided to see for themselves during the Women in Technology Insight Programme if this path was right for them. The result? They are now working and growing their careers in tech positions at HSBC.
Joanna Zawiślak –Junior Software Engineer, Graduate Programme HSBC
“I went to check it out. I stayed for longer.” In her case, curiosity was the first step to software engineering. How did she make a career pivot after graduating with a degree in Chemistry to work at HSBC? You can read about it in the success stories section.
If you are in a similar place today, this might be the right moment to check it out.
