I recently started working at company A. I met with a professional colleague (lawyer) to ask about the industry company A is in. He said something that bothered me and I wanted some opinion on it. He said that I will never get a leadership position in company A because I am an Asian woman due to the industry company A is in. Continued in comment.

I would take that as Company A/the industry have a problem. He was warning you.

This is how I interpret it as well. Unfortunately racism and sexism are still alive and kicking, and there are some industries where that culture flourishes. It’s a shame, because they’re missing out on excellent resources like OP.

I felt insulted but my husband says that the colleague was pointing out that company A is in the wrong, and not attacking me or my abilities because I cannot change the fact that I am an Asian woman. What do you guys think? Maybe I just needed to vent...

Seems like the colleague worded it poorly. If you feel insulted, you certainly have the right to. Your post says the colleague said it’s because of the industry while your husband is pointing blame at the company. Either way, if you have your mind set on pursuing leadership there, I think you should go for it. Just because there hasn’t been an Asian woman in the role yet doesn’t mean it’ll never happen.

I would also be wary of this friend’s “advice.” While discrimination is real, I question the friend’s motives in discouraging you. They cannot see the future.

More broadly, do not let others define you or your potential.

Out of curiosity, what industry is this?

My current salary is under market average for my position but based off my coworkers’ negative experiences with asking for raises/promotions, I’m not really sure how to go about starting the conversation with my manager. There’s also a rumor going around that the company is going to scale back on our marketing efforts even though our VP tells us a different story. Either way I need more money and I just want to have that conversation before I begin looking for a new job.
