Hi all,
I am a mid-level employee. I work as the specialist for our team, which in short means I must know the processes and flow of all that our facility does. My concern is that a large part the facility's doing are discussed around me until the very end. I am the only woman in a group of men who make decisions and am constantly left out. I've been told to be "more aggressive" and when I’m needed I’ll be called on.

That last sentence makes no sense. Whoever told you that is just spewing BS. An aggressive person doesn't wait until they're called upon. Who told you this, a manager or a peer? Ideally you'd get a manager on your side and then they'd start including you.

Try having more one-on-one conversations with team members, to start inserting yourself. If you're feeling bold and it wouldn't make you look bad, join in the meetings they're having and say it's because you want to ensure you're understanding everything. Stay quiet for a bit and then once they're comfortable, start speaking up. Don't be aggressive, be logical and confident.

When to sell at a loss?

I’m 26 and have a fair chunk of my NW tied to Cloudflare - a tech stock that I believe has the opportunity to 3x and become a $100b+ company over the long term. Similarly, I have a lot in cloud computing etf - WCLD.

Given short term rotation out of growth stocks, I’m confused on what to do. I think we still have some time before growth stocks bottom out, but do I sell?

I would consider myself a “long only” investor, but am unsure what to do given my lack of diversif
