I’m 49/F with graying hair, sensible shoes, am peri-menopausal, with average looks. I just received a promotion, over a bigger team, and more $. This is half bragging and half to give hope. 🙌

You!!! That’s awesome. I’ve been in menopause since my 40s, haven’t worn heels since the 80s and still killing it in my 60s. WE CAN DO THIS.

Kudos to both of you! Killing it in your 60s is a true achievement because it really gets tough when you are 50+. You are expected to be in a quite senior position by then, but if you aren’t, then you’re looked down at, even if you’re working at the level you feel comfortable. Unfortunately, a person at a certain age is judged by his/her title, not by whether he/she is happy with what he/she is doing.

Hi Fishes,

I recently got an offer for Cyber security advisory at
PwC India . They gave a 20% hike on the current amount. Thing is that l, the technical interview told me that it is not a software/coding type of position and asked me multiple times if I was interested to do that. Is that a red flag?

Hello, I am a junior business administrator working in advisory operations. I have been with the company for 6 months, and was employed along with 2 other colleagues. I have picked the job up really fast and am even doing some “extra curricula’s” I really love my job. However I have recently found out I am being paid the same as an apprentice on my team, I usually do at 3 x the work he does whilst also doing my Cert CII. It has really disheartened me and I feel I should be earning more money

Starting the interview process with another company in industrials, and my current TC is ~$600k. Headhunter wants to chat about comp expectations - anyone have advice on how to approach? Is there a minimum bump people tend to shoot for before making the jump (e.g. 25%)? Trying to keep it clean and focus on annual TC, but plan to also communicate I expect to be made whole on my unvested RSUs . TIA!
