Enamics Inc’s Saltzman may echo other IT professionals’ sentiments when she says she just can’t stay away. “When I started my career, I migrated away from technology for a while, but I came back to tech because things change so fast,” she says. “Nothing ever gets stale. People who end up in the field reflect that. It’s very exciting, and a great world to be in.”
