Out of curiosity, how many women in tech have experienced retaliation or discrimination based on fertility treatment or pregnancy status? And if so what did you do about it?

Personally, never

I find it hard to believe out of 200k professional women no one has experienced this. I know of at least 3 who have who found themselves suddenly RIF’d out conveniently either when returning from mat leave or disclosing intention of having a family. You have a right to be fearful about this, but nothing gets solved by silence.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
