I’m the only woman on a small leadership team. Just pulled off a massive trade show.

At dinner, a male peer—who knows my husband just finished the most aggressive cancer treatment—asked, “So… when are you going to have kids?” to a table of male partners and peers.

Then laughed and said, “Call me when they’re three. You won’t have a plan then.”

The table laughed. I didn’t.
Everyone else have a story or coworker like this?

PwC A recruiter from PWC reached out to me to ask if I’d consider a different office the one I applied to, since it’s full. It would be Boston, Hartford, Chicago, Minneapolis, Little Rock, Denver, San Francisco or San Jose. MSA candidate. Is there a fully remote option? Do you have to be in the office all the time? Is the compensation high at PWC? Is there a possible moving expenses? Any insight or advice would help me make a decision. Thank you!

Anyone else struggling with moving forward I. Their company? I work with three men and two women, the two women are not in my department but the three men are. It feels like I am being held back simply because I am female. I have done everything they have done and I work three times harder then two of them. Just really frustrated at this point.
