7 tips for women to grow their IT careers in MNCs like Publicis Sapient

Women often struggle in the IT field to grow their careers after 3-5 years of work experience. Due to various personal reasons, career takes the backstage and climbing the corporate ladder becomes difficult. Not anymore! I am listing seven tips below that will ensure you are always on top of your game. 

Follow these to grow while taking care of your commitments. No need to compromise on your salary and career growth. With these steps, you can be at the same level as your male counterparts in big IT MNCs like Accenture, Publicis Sapient, KPMG and Deloitte.  

1. Prioritization: Striking a balance and proving your worth to the Project Manager is necessary for positive growth. Prioritize your tasks for the week and keep the manager in the loop in case of any contingencies. 
2. Upskilling: Keep doing training and strive to learn from your seniors.
3. Showcasing Achievements: Even if no one notices, maintain a record of all your achievements and milestones. You can send a quarterly email to your manager highlighting your work and efforts made by you.
4. The support system at home: Create a support system in the form of family members, hired help and create an environment where you can devote 8 hours dedicatedly for office work. 
5. Utilizing Hybrid work style: If you cannot come to office daily, plan weekly visits such that your performance is not affected at any front. 
6. Managing Work Deliverables: Manage your time and prioritize things so that your work does not get affected. Take some extra time for any issues. Plan strategy for each quarter/sprint in detail.
7. Making some hard decisions: Assign some ‘Me-Time’ for yourself and invest in rejuvenation. Set clear boundaries for personal and professional workspace. 

These tips are not some internet-read advice at all. I have interacted with and observed many successful women in my circle, who follow the above tips. No one can be a superwoman, but everyone can be a managed and focused individual.
