I'm often the only woman in the room for big pitches or decisions, and I still catch myself softening my opinions so I don’t get labeled as “too intense,” and it’s really starting to bother me. Do you do this too? How can I slowly start to change without coming off as a completely different person?

Being firm but respectful has worked well for me at my current job! It's definitely not the answer everywhere. Wishing you the best.

I’m four months into my job and I got put onto a PIP. I worked so hard to break into IB, put up all the hours and even working 2am nights for weeks, learned a ton, and improved a lot along the way as the sole analyst yet this happens. I’m extra worried because it doesn’t seem there’s IB analyst positions out there. Im really hoping come January more positions come up but I’m just praying they don’t fire me until then. Anyone have general tips for this situation?
