Ladies: Woman here. Do you prefer working under a power-driven female or the dad-boss type? You know the difference.

Isn't this an unfair comparison - shouldn't the comparison be b/w dad boss and mommy boss? Or are we assuming all women are power driven? Also, what about power driven males - you know, brother boss, husband boss, guy-you'd-like-to-jump-but-can't-because-he's-the-boss boss ...

Male here btw.

Guy here - came to praise mom bosses, I've worked under the whole matrix and they are certainly some of the best. Big brother bosses are also great but even more rare than elusive mom boss

Mom bosses are... Just so rare. I worked under one at BAML. She was awesome.

Dad boss - definitely! In my experience there's no sisterhood when it comes to careers - power driven female bosses are not good. I'd like to try a mom boss though. I can imagine that's powerful.

Fully agree with the guy above me. With male vps/directors i often have to break the chain of command and be aggressive about taking on more responsibility. The two women seniors I've worked with were way more cool about it

Haven't worked for a lady boss, but would like to. I used to work for a dad boss, and while he praised my work I always got the "I just want to call your parents and tell them how proud they should be of you" because his daughter was close to my age when I was an analyst. It was a little odd. Now I work for a "bro boss" who treats me more like a peer / friend and respects my opinion. That's what I prefer.

Dad boss

Dad boss of course😜

Agree with @MS4 I've worked with more of a mom boss type and they're wonderful. Regardless of gender when they show they kind of care sometimes I think that's the best scenario
