My manager recently brought up moving me into a lead role. I’m interested, of course, but I’m concerned about the extra scrutiny I'd face since I'm one of the few females at my company. I’ve seen women here get picked apart for things the guys do without a second thought. Is the chance to lead worth dealing with the extra criticism?

It’s not right or fair, but at least you know what you’ll be walking into. Comes down to whether or not you think it’ll be sustainable. Or taking that title and then going to another company with it.

I absolutely believe you should go for it. You will work hard and not give them anything to scrutinize. We do have to work harder as females, but we do it every day. I would go for the promotion.
