It happens a lot with us. Best way to combat that is too just kick butt at the job. Keep doing that and people will recognize. Maybe not this person, but down the line they'll remember and your network will grow with people that recognize you're importance.

Has anyone experience any discrimination? I had an SVP once tell me "we grew up so different, I wouldn't get it". She grew up privileged.

She automatically dismissed me a less than in all her actions towards me.

Coming from Africa, I started my own practice in my country 2 years ago while having my full time job with Deloitte (discussed with my partner). With the demand I have many clients now and managing both is killing me, I know I should leave. The problem now becomes that I like my boss so much, he did a lot of my career and was always supportive. He's 68 and planning to retire soon and should make me partner by the next 2 yrs. I am lost 😭 and stuck to make a clear decision. Any help ?
