I heard someone say, "She's just really confident" about a woman who was assertive in a meeting.

Would we have said the same about a man? Probably not.

What subtle bias have you seen lately that still happens too often?

I’ve seen it too. When a man’s assertive, he’s “decisive.” When a woman is, she’s “intense.” We still praise confidence differently depending on who’s speaking. I also once saw a woman lead a tough call and someone called her “bossy,” but when a man did the same thing, he was “taking charge.” I hate seeing this. How do you handle this situations?

I agree above, a different tone taken depending on make or female. I’m not sure how to navigate this either so I’m following if you have any advice?

Hello,
I've recieved an offer from Morgan Stanley, my previous salary was around 6 Lpa and last offered was around 15 Lpa (WFH), I quoted 40 to 45% on top of that around 22 Lpa considering Mumbai location, WFO and Glassdoor pay range.
Did I just do a mistake by quoting too high a number? Please let me know your opinions.
