In a male dominated industry how does the female stand out besides just being a face?

By refusing to back down, make sure no one takes credit for your work and if they do, call them out on it. Don’t remain silent when you see women dealing with bad behavior from their teams and advocate for equality whenever possible. If you are in a management position, be hyper aware of misogyny on your projects, and don’t back down ever. It would be great to have men in the workplace advocate for the women they work with, but honestly, we have to be our own advocates. It sucks. I’ve worked in IT since 1999 and it has gotten better for women. It’s not perfect yet, but I if we continue to fight for ourselves and others, we will slowly continue to see change.

This. Expanding on advocacy: keep the ladies ladder accessible. One woman in the room is the token female and it’s hard to be heard, the second is a buddy and you may not taken seriously, the third is a unit and focus shifts (properly/finally) to ideas.

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?

Hey fishies! Been a GVP consultant for 3.5 years now, hard work, tough “in trouble” clients, and just haven’t had the chance to work with a team long term!

Non-MD so it’s hard to find companies that will hire me even though I teach in grad school and headed for my PhD. Any thoughts? Openings?

Negotiation in new offer: I’m moving from fully remote to fully in office (with chance of hybrid later) offer for associate director in quality in pharma for 170k base, 18% bonus and 75k equity. I’ve asked for a sign on bonus as I’m not eligible for annual next year and will be missing my current jobs bonus. I should hear tomorrow (asking for 28k). Thoughts about the offer? Should I ask for more equity or is that standard? They’re public (currently ~$20)should I get the hybrid option in writing?
