Really curious about this, but what kind of women have you noticed make it in finance? It feels like what I do, which is I make people feel like putting my team before myself, definitely isn't the way. Although I work super hard, I'm struggling to figure out what real success in this field looks like. What are your thoughts??

Honestly, I think it's women who make themselves seem like they're indispensable. Success here isn’t just about hard work; it’s about strategically positioning yourself, whether through quantifiable results (like, “I increased client retention by 20%”) or by owning high-visibility projects that align with leadership’s priorities. Not that your team-first mindset isn't an asset, but pair it with unapologetic ownership of your wins because no one else will do it for you.

I've seen women who have the personality of an ER doctor make it in this field. They're emotionally detached, very strategic and practical and they put their careers first ahead of everything else. I certainly admire their success and envy it at times, but I always put my family first and playing office politics seemed sleazy. Well, I was definitely wrong on the latter, as it's crucial.

We interviewed a great candidate, extended a verbal offer and she accepted. We sent the written offer a few days ago but she hasn’t opened it or accepted (it’s expiring tomorrow).

Why do Managers keep silent even though there is Injustice in the Projects?

1.There was a Junior who used to work in my project for 14 to 15 hours.

Team leader and senior used to work for one hour.

2.There was a psychopath team leader who used to fight with everyone and bring conflicts.

No Manager used to tell them anything - And try to Harmonize ,is the IT management like that everywhere?
