About us
Welcome to FurtHER, a community for women in tech (and similarly fast-paced environments) who want to grow their careers, build meaningful connections, and enjoy the ride without running themselves into the ground.
And before you ask: No, you don't have to be burnout-free to join. We're not checking stress levels at the door, pinky promise. :) It's what we're working towards, together.
We talk about the things that make working and growing in tech both exciting and exhausting: building confidence, making yourself visible, influencing others, advocating for yourself, navigating career changes, dealing with imposter syndrome, and the occasional urge to throw your laptop out the window.
We also recognize the extra challenges of building a career and life abroad. From figuring out Dutch workplace culture to finding your voice, your people, and your place in a new country. Expats and locals are equally welcome!
Burnout prevention, sustainable recovery and avoiding relapse are close to our hearts. We'll explore self-awareness, resilience, healthier coping mechanisms, boundaries, and what it actually takes to build a fulfilling career without sacrificing your wellbeing along the way.
Expect informal meetups, honest conversations, networking, peer support, and practical workshops. Some events will be about career growth, others about wellbeing, and some will simply be an opportunity to meet interesting women who understand your world.
Whether you're leading a team, figuring out your next career move, recovering from burnout, or just looking for good company and conversations beyond the usual corporate small talk, there's a place for you at FurtHER.
Hope to see you there,
Elena Mladen
expat in NL since 2017 | formerly in tech | now all about people
