She was a high level executive at BBH forever. Now she’s out of the industry and an advocate for social issues. She can be pretty polarizing at times but is charismatic, connected and extremely wealthy so she’s fairly influential.

She used to be the CEO of BBH New York I think. Now she is an advocate for women in advertising and uses her platform to call out sexism when she sees it.

She’s also started a website where normal couples can record themselves doing it and sell it, to fight the porn industry by showing erotica that is not abusive to women. Writing this, I realize it sounds like a joke, but it’s not. It’s called makelovenotporn.

She may be out of the industry “officially”, but she is quite influential through her activities and I believe for the most part she’s pushing the industry in the right direction.

I recently interviewed for a small strat consulting company (energy industry). I have 3 YoE and would be moving from engineering. the HR person asked me what my salary expectations were I was caught offguard and said I would expect it to be at least what I make now (around 100k). Im now worried theyll lowball me because I really shouldve asked for 120+bonus (I think this is market rate?) But they have salary bands they follow right?So if they pay consultants 140 usually would they offer me 100k?
