Landy stated that during the 10 year period that Zuckerberg was employed at Facebook she gained some insights. Zuckerberg discovered how male-dominated the industry was. The Harvard graduate ended being the only woman in rooms where decisions were being made.

In an interview with Quartz, Zuckerberg made two suggestions for women. The first suggestion she made was that women should have names that sound male. The second suggestion she made was that women should consider finding niches in the sector that are as yet in their infancy of development. Zuckerberg’s theory is that women will then find spaces that are not yet filled with gender bias. Zuckerberg stated that this gender bias pervades the rest of the global tech industry. Spaces with most gender bias being those that are fully established.

Women should invest in the future
