Being a woman in the workforce is difficult enough when you have to prove 24/7 you are capable and intelligent to be given any job worth having. In advertising, I feel like there’s no exception. I see many women in advertising being given the unfavorable marketing roles such as running organic social media, managing events and other PR related duties. Whereas males are given more strategic based roles where they play a huge part in decision making. Is this true based on your experience?

Is it worth doing MBA ? Many people told me that since you are already in big4 you dont need one.
My target is to get in MBB down the line.

Do you think the current situation would affect pending offers? Received a verbal offer from another B4 but concerned the contract will be delayed due to what’s going on around the world/markets.

Older attorneys keep trying to force dictation on me. I’m a newer lawyer and have trouble verbalizing my motions and legal writing for complex issues I am just beginning to understand. I don’t see how constantly waiting for my secretary to get me drafts of my dictated material is going to make me more efficient. Is it unreasonable for me not to want to dictate? It seems really outdated and when I write things myself they are 10x more coherent and take about the same amount of time.
