It’s no secret that finance is still a male-dominated field, but what often goes unspoken is how frequently women get left out of those informal networking moments such as golf outings, after-work drinks, or even casual lunches - that can lead to mentorship, promotions, or key connections. I’ve seen this happen a few times in my career. Have you ever felt sidelined by these unwritten networking rules? How do you go about building your own connections and advancing your career?

My new dept is mostly male (12 men, 3 women). On a Friday during one of my first weeks at work when we were still hybrid and I had to come in daily for training, ALL of the other team members who were there in the office that day (4 white males) went out to lunch together, and not just to grab takeout, but to go sit at the bar, order burgers and beers, and they came back over an hour later. As someone with no work to do who was supposed to be shadowing people, it was pretty annoying to not at least be invited.

Wow, almost five days in the office now? That would be tough for me. But at least it helps team members get to know each other better and hopefully creates a more balanced dynamic. I started a new job right before the pandemic, just as everyone shifted to remote work and it was tough to connect with people as a newcomer.

Create your own women's group.
