Hi, I’ve found it’s mostly women in the office that have hindered me, in my present team I have about 5 female colleagues who actively blank me, never even spoke to them, I have tried to be friendly and get one word answers. How do I deal with this? And have women found that men have been better advocates, mentors and allies?

It's a very sad fact to admit but yes I've found most men to be better allies than most women. I'll say these men had specific characteristics which I believe made them more open to helping a woman: they were raised by single moms, they grew up poor, they had a strong moral compass, and they just saw me as an equal. I have a hard time dealing with frat bros of any age and have met some hindrance there. But the women who make it in this industry are at best neutral to me and at worst just plain awful.

I’m a first year analyst in RFA with deloitte and have really hated my experience so far. Both my projects have been a lot longer than they stated and I have learned 0 skills from either of them. I’m really just doing the same task every day and I feel like my undergrad degree is going to waste. I have a couple interviews in an MBB role and a Tier 2 tech but I also want to keep applying to other companies just in case. Does anyone know companies that are in a hiring frenzy right now?

I'm wondering what the pay is for someone in my position without certification. I live with family and want to afford to move out but I am single and only make $18/hr. Is that standard or am I being underpaid?
