I'm an M&A Consultant, I've traveled the U.S. extensively over past 10 years for deals, and I've never experienced an issue due to my wearing a Kippah, delivering kosher food to outside restaurants, nor taking off work (and leaving early) for shabbat/holidays during crunch time.
Make a kiddush Hashem and wear that kippah proudly. 👍

Same, never any issues in 8 years. I actually think it helps make me more memorable/stand out in a crowd, which has helped me advance in my career.

I've never gotten any comments other than one question about how it stays on. If I got negative comments, I'd report it to my erg and hr.

In my experience (orthodox Jewish woman in NYC) people get resentful of Jews who leave early. I was advised not to make it about being Jewish at my last company.

Everyone in America knows they better not make any comments

Have you seen women wear ties and "masculine"-looking suits to work? Was it accepted by client and team? I've never worn a tie to work, but when I've worn clothing that had a more "masculine" fit either in grad school or some work environments, I've gotten comments and looks, or sometimes asked (or people gossiped) about my orientation. When I wear more "feminine"-looking clothing, I feel more more uncomfortable and awkward. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yidden, I've been slowly drifting away from religion. It's odd because I used to be so connected, and I still retain the same values!

I become so sad when I see my friends becoming more connected, while I find myself gradually falling away 😞... HELP!
