I am the only male on a year long engagement team of 6. Is it bad for me to want another team? My current team members are great but I simply can’t relate to half of what they talk about. Suggestions?

Learn to relate. How do you think girls feel on a male team?

Now, that, is a mic drop.

Welcome to being a woman in a male dominated field. Yes, it’s bad for you to want another team.

PwC 2. I had a SM in my group who was definitely ready! She got told next year was her year. Which she has been hearing for two years already 🙄

Ok these points are sooo valid (and a lot made me laugh) but to be fair to OP, seems like he’s genuinely trying to relate to his team and asking for suggestions and not just being like: hey I want off because this is making me uncomfortable and I’m male so it’s important that I’m still part of the Ol’ Boys Club. So OP, your feelings of not being able to relate are valid but I’m glad you seem like you’re willing to learn to relate and are just realizing how this is how it is for minorities and we deal with this everyday haha.

You said you don't understand half. That means you understand someone 50%...I'd call that a win.

Really? You can’t relate? Why not try, or just be quiet? If a staff came to me with this I would laugh

Maybe you should take this as an opportunity to know how many women feel working in a male dominated field. I honestly can’t believe this is something you’d even ask suggestions on lol

All you have to do is read/listen to bachelor/bachelorette spoilers so you know what happened and bam you’re in! It’s like seeing the box score to a game you missed.

I work with all males. You just got to make it all work and it does. Everyone adjusts themselves ultimately, thats whats professional to do.

Curiosity question - I’m a naturally very chatty senior and I’ve noticed that the staff 1s who are starting remotely and living at their parents’ home (which makes a ton of sense with the remote working) that I’ve been working with seem to want to chat about both semi related work stuff and non work stuff a fair amount. If you’re a staff living at home, do you enjoy having seniors who will chat with you about random things or would you rather just get your work done and log off?
