In a major shift, tech and business sectors in India are offering high-paying corporate positions to women, a Business Standard report said citing a TeamLease Digital report.
These roles, the report said, offer excellent career opportunities with competitive salaries to women with experience.
The report further said that women, both freshers and experience professionals, are taking top positions in various fields, including data science, product management, cloud engineering, and cybersecurity.
Some of the positions that the women are being offered are: product manager, senior product manager, directors, data scientists, cloud engineer, senior cloud engineers, project management office, among others.
