Last week, I closed a deal I'd been nurturing for months - the client literally said my presentation sold them. But when our VP announced it at the all-hands, somehow my male teammate got the spotlight. I'm sick and tired of this pattern. Even though my commission check will be nice, I'd like to get some recognition every once in a while. How do you handle situations like that?

This is not okay, and you shouldn't accept that. Do you have any aliases or people who could support youin this situation? For me, I always have women mentors on my side in situations. They always encourage me to reach out to managers about who did what and that you don't accept situations. So, I would shoot your VP a concise email celebrating the deal’s main wins, thank them for the shout-out, and request a brief one-on-one to discuss future recognition.

I hate to say it, but I stopped caring about the recognition. Seriously, when I stopped caring, it started rolling in. When I finally realized that I didn't need any external validation, I started getting it. It's weird how a universe works that way.

Im so sorry that happened!

Wow. I am so sorry to hear that. I know that feeling when you don't get the credit that you deserved and it isn't a good one. Congrats on closing the deal though, that was all you.

Hi! I have recently taken a step back from my Doctorate in Physical Therapy and am trying to find my next move. My family keeps recommending medical sales, my bank account recommends finishing the degree that cost me an arm and a leg, and my heart is conflicted in so many areas of interest - PT, Psych, sales, etc. I am currently working as a patient care technician but do not see this as my end goal. Any recommendations on sales vs PT vs psychology vs really anything? Thank you!!
