Hello all,
Would like to know specifically about Queer inclusion at SocGen Societe Generale. What is the attitude of mangers and HRs towards treating LGBTQ identifying candidates? Is company really inclusive or it’s just a lip service? Considering an offer with the company but being an out and proud Queer woman, super anxious and concerned.

I deal with it every day and just have to take it one day at a time. I feel it at work and at home. I do talk to a therapist and that does help, but I haven’t found anything to make it go away. I’m interested to hear if others have and how they did it.
I too deal with this. I’ve found that it’s typically situations where I am uncomfortable or unsure of myself, especially new situations. For example, I’m going to need to start doing CLE presentations as part of my business development plan. (Why on earth I made this part of my BD plan is a whole other discussion). I’ve found that simply facing my fear, preparing like hell, and reminding myself that yes, somehow I really am an expert in the field with all my experience and accolades gets me through the first time or two. After that, I start feeling familiar with the new situation and the imposter syndrome feeling starts fading with each repetition (at least until the next scary thing comes up).
Oh man, This one hits. Every. Day. In every part of my life from career, to being a husband and father. Imposter syndrome sucks.
I kinda fell into my current role, excelled, and rose quickly. Its suits my personality well. When I have to demonstrate my competencies, I feel exposed (whether or not I am - the self-doubt wins).
For me, leaning into my wins, whatever they may be, helps. But the struggle with feeling like an imposter is always there.
