But, like, are there types of IT women? Asking cause I am one and don’t know any tropes for us lol
Go forth and forge your own destiny, free of stereotypes. Or just be Alex from YIIK idk.
Unicorn… Nah, I’m kidding fortunately for women there’s no strong stereotypes. There were enough women in my gigs that the individuality was easily apparent.
Since that’s isn’t really fun I’ll pull some very broad strokes descriptions out my rear end and see which one resonates with you.
The Professional Mom: 8-4:30 on the dot but maximum effort during working hours and never ever seen goofing off or chit chatting (lunch included). Pretty chill though and smart as hell.
The boardgame/crossword girl: most likely to be gender fluid. Don’t ever mistake her for “gamer girl”. Will happily shoot the shit with you and goof off if you treat her like human being. Will probably have real experiences of getting work/credit stolen by tech bros.
The optimistic young coder: super jazzed about being the in the field and learning everything about anything. A people pleaser to a fault. Give it two to three years before she’s completely jaded. Until then, an absolute sponge of knowledge.
The cut throat career track woman: absolutely obsessed with advancing her status. Tech bros learn brutality from these ladies. Usually transition to pure management or product divisions pretty early. Also most likely to organize the “women in tech” meetings for clout in the current company. Stay on their good side for your sake.
All I can think of is Lisbeth slander from the millennium series. That’s pretty kickass.
This meme shows you don’t work in IT.

Ikr. Where are the near retired 50 year old who are stagnating the tech just to avoid getting fired and the 2 overworked employees who are the smes in everything for the department.
We have two IT guys, one of them is three of these and the other is the fourth. The guy who is all three is actually the anime girl on VR Chat in his spare time :)
I’m guessing the other guy’s a furry then.
Both are, just one is in denial
Doesn’t have the guy who seems to always be asleep at the desk but is also somehow the most efficient IT worker.
I’m not the bottom two, that much I know.
I can’t grow a beard… oh no.Got a coworker on my team who is type 4. He’s the glue that holds the team together, nobody knows anywhere as much as he does.
If he ever leaves, the whole team is screwed and the project is dead in the water.
Somehow it’s missing the clean cut Indian developer guy, the emo developer, the script kiddie, the Linux fan, the windows fan, the IBM frat boy, the open BSD lunatics and the one guy who loves trains too much
This is a weird political compass
Number 1 is number 3 when online.
Number 2 is number 4 when at the convention.
There are 2 types of IT guys.
im the one in the top left without the acne and glasses. fite me.
That’s me
Damn almost forgot about YIIK
I think you mean stages*
There are 4 stages of IT guy
Top left and bottom right are same guy
