🎯 Pay Equality Panel Discussion:
A study of MBA graduates shows that the starting salary of male graduates is on average 7.6% higher than that of female graduates. But this study does not indicate that men are more capable than women. Instead, it shows if they enter the stage of negotiation. The survey also demonstrated that half of the male graduates will negotiate wages in their first job, but only one in eight female graduates will do so, while almost 90% of women give up negotiations.
Based on the research, women are afraid of negotiating their salary. Asian women especially are more constrained because of the conservative culture of families and society. They are not only worried about negotiating wages. Asking for a raise is even a challenging task! In this session, Chiang will share her salary negotiation skills. Last but not least, we will also further discuss why workplace diversity can bring benefits to companies.

Mandy Chung
Mandy Chung is the founder of Women in IoT and has more than ten years of professional experience in the global consumer electronics and IoT industries. After helping more than 500 IoT startups in Europe and America, inspired by her career in the global startup ecosystem, she established Women in IoT, aiming to encourage more women in the workplace to participate in the Internet of Things through events and mentorship programs. Women in IoT aims to provide a community that supports women’s career advancement, entrepreneurship, connection, and mutual promotion.
For her professional experience in global IoT innovation and technology in Taiwan, she was invited and sponsored by the U.S. State Department in 2017 to participate in the International Visitor Leadership Program to four cities in the United States (San Diego/ Denver/ Kansas City/ Washington, DC). She was also awarded as the Asus Employee of the Year in 2015.
Linien Yen
The Women in AI Taiwan ambassador as well as the founder of Digital Dama channel. Linien Yen worked for Ogilvy, ViewSonic, and the Italian AI startup. She has more than ten years of B2C professional marketing experience. When working as an AI product manager in Italy, she found that among more than 30 software engineers in the company, there was only one single female AI engineer. Being spired by such a giant gap of gender imbalance in AI technology, Linien joined Women in AI in 2020, hoping to encourage more women to participate in technology, coding and programming, artificial intelligence and data analysis. She believes that artificial intelligence will be more complete with women's participation.
🎯 Organizer:
Women in IoT
Women in IoT hopes to gather all of the women who work in various semiconductor companies, OEM, system solution providers, IoT-related technology industries in Taiwan and around the world to have a community where they can exchange ideas, stimulate creativity, and discuss workplace equality as well as entrepreneurial topics. There are many women in Taiwan who play important roles in the science and technology industry. They are the PMs or engineers, coordinating and dealing with problems in multiple companies. But they often forget how unique they are. Therefore, Women in IoT hopes to serve as a community where they can promote their projects, motivate each other or gather entrepreneurial resources.
