I was assigned women advisors at my company but I feel like they are less empathetic and harsher than any man ever has been towards me. It almost feels like they have internalized misogyny. For example, if I bring up a concern I have regarding my career path, instead of offering any constructive advice or even just listening, they’ll tear me down and tell me to just deal with it because “that’s consulting.” Has anyone else experienced this? I’m feeling really down about it :/

Thoughts about freelancing someone after you interview them as a trial run? Part of me feels like it’s an obvious way to really get to know how someone works, in a way you never would from just interviews. But I don’t want to commit a faux pas by asking. And I guess it would bias me towards those who are currently not full-time and are able to freelance.
