About to have zero female superiors in my practice. Pretty demoralizing to see women all get pushed out eventually.

Leave. It’s not going to get any better and you’ll hate it more the longer you stay. It’s a slow death by a thousand cuts. Don’t do that to yourself.

I don’t know where you are or what field or what your environment is like and I appreciate how challenging it can be when you’re the only woman. I was a math and physics major in college and then entered technology consulting. There were no women when I started and very few women partners even now, so I have lived through it. Although I tell you I was blissfully ignorant in the earlier years.

My advice to you is assess your situation and environment broader. How are the opportunities? The people? Where are you in your career and life? Do you have sponsors? It is frustrating to be the only one but it could also be very empowering and a significant advantage. The reality for me was that it was not women who made me and by that I mean taught me, coached me, sponsored me, fought for me. It was men. If you like what you do and have the right support, you can be the minority and have a positive impact for not just yourself but other women. You can always develop relationships with women outside of work - clients, people in our industry,etc.

Good luck to you!

From 22-27 I dated a guy who worked all the time with the hope we would get married. Lots of time spent alone since he was never around on trips and so called vacations. Recently, I broke up with him and just am really feeling like I wasted my twenties. I saw two girls walking down the street yesterday with pink balloons that spelled “23”... what I would give to have not wasted my time with this guy. Has anyone ever gone through this?

Hi everyone! I am in a weird situation right now that I haven’t been in before and could really use some advice especially from women who might have faced or seen something similar. Long story short, I was brought into my current firm and promised that the work I want to do is within the team/solution they recruited me for and aligned me with in the system. However, once I started working on the project, it became very clear that I’m in the wrong team and on the wrong project (continued below)
