Does anyone else feel like it gets way more lonely with each job-level increase? Who are your “people?” Who do you confide in and seek advice from when you need it.

I’m feeling pretty alone and while I have connections in leadership areas at my org, it’s not apples to apples. I’m in a bit in a niche, so maybe that silos me a bit more.


TIA

I definitely feel that. I've had to start going out side of my company for engagement. There are lots of networking opportunities in my area though.

What types of local networking do you feel are most valuable?

Yes but my best friends, including girlfriends who are now at the top of their careers are all in similar positions. While we may be in different industries, we’re all struggling with the same things.

Same! I've tried externally, but have had little success with people in my industry and role 😔 it's too niche and no one wants to engage...

I gave up, to be honest. But maybe I need to make an effort and find other groups of women
