<p>The rapidly growing tech industry is filled with stories of people who became overnight millionaires, simply by getting in early on a company that made it big. Riding this train of dreams fueled by survivorship bias, startup founders often use equity offers and the promise of future returns as a way to justify lower salaries, but in some ways, this is like being paid in lottery tickets. However, like the lottery, where chances of winning are extremely low if you play, but nonexistent if you don’t, equity and stock options can be a vehicle for monetary gains you might not otherwise achieve by diligent saving alone. The question then becomes, just how much are you willing to pay in lost salary for this chance? Further, how do you evaluate the value and fairness of the offer you’ve received? What options do you have for negotiating an offer to your advantage, and how can you make the most of it? I’ll help you wade through the sea of terms, options, and outcomes so you’ll feel prepared to make these choices for yourself.

<p>For humans, care is ubiquitous. Most of us perform and benefit from care on a daily basis, including operational care, companionship, child and elder care, routine assistance and accommodation. Technology has the potential to shape the way that we give and receive care, and the conditions in which the work of care is done. Yet, is it possible to automate the crucial tasks of caring, and is it in our own interest to do so?</p>
<p>Drawing on business cases and design research, this session examines care work’s impact across industries including healthcare, education, transportation and technology. How can we better operationalize ethics of care in order to design for privacy, security and trust? How can we design services, along with products and systems, to support care?
</p>
<p>In this interactive workshop, participants will be encouraged to draw on their own professional and personal experiences. Following the presentation, we will share and take part in brief design exercises to define and iterate design principles and outcomes to support and recognize care work.

<p>Last year, Lisa van Gelder was interviewing for a new executive job in NYC at the same time as two (white, male) friends. Because they had a similar amount of experience and similar interests, they ended up interviewing at the same companies at the same time, and Lisa found herself in an unintentional A/B test. When they compared notes, she found that she had a radically different interview experience than her friends. Lisa discusses what she learned from her accidental A/B tests, how the term “unqualified” is often used to reject marginalized groups in tech, and what we can do about it—both as individual interviewees and as hiring managers looking to improve the interview process.</p>
