Corporations have so many layers of bureaucracy, so it’s easy to hide in the background without having much skill. It’s also more common to have someone with 10-15 years of experience in very junior or mid level roles, which to me is always a sign that they are not the cream of the crop in terms of talent.

Journalism is the best job in the world but I feel like people are less likely to take my work seriously because I am female.

Is there some way I can tell my supervisor that yes, I do like those stories, but I like being a serious reporter even more?
