ABSTRACT
Many women have been forced to choose between their family and their career. The COVID-19 pandemic made this choice more prevalent for many women in the workforce. Women bring a new perspective, especially to the STEM field, and due to their lack of representation, this could allude to the hindrance of development in this field. The authors have tried to compile their experiences and learnings of their journeys through their early career challenges, the challenges faced while working in the field of STEM, and the ways in which they can re-join the workforce after a career gap.
