🙋🏼 If you saw a younger guy in that same situation would you think they were "trying to get a promotion" or were forced? I don't feel awkward and find it sad that you think a woman eating dinner would be doing it for any different reason than a guy. We can enjoy company too

As a woman in technology consulting, I am very frequently the only female in the room, let alone in the team.

Whoever said employers don’t care about grades and transcripts after your first job was a liar. Every lateral position that I’ve applied to as a 3rd year has requested transcripts. Why do we lie and tell grads that employers don’t check transcripts when they do. My coworker, a 5th yr, had to submit his transcripts also to lateral job. Side note - it speaks volume when multiple associates are trying to lateral at the same time

Hi! First time working with a larger company - suggestions on handling pronouns at work?

I’ve worked with smaller agencies where it was easier to bring up. Now I’m on a larger team, talking to/referencing people I’ve never met. I’m less concerned about my own pronouns and more concerned about how to make sure I’m using the correct pronouns for the people I work with.

I’ve been structuring sentences to avoid gender specific pronouns but would love to hear suggestions. Thanks!

When I spoke to the client she had no idea why the recruiter added angular react as it was just a Java developer position, Completely wasted so much time

I’m curious how much other people with similar incomes save/invest a year; I’m a 24M, making 70K a year in a HCOL city.
