Oh, the stories I could tell. We’re at a disadvantage clearly in lack of numbers (in a male dominated field). However, remember that we are resourceful and we succeed by being intuitive and being 3 steps ahead (or more!). Diplomacy, tactfulness, emotional intelligence…and don’t forget—don’t let them see you sweat. You can do this!

Oef I feel this post in my bones. I was recently provided with an external mentor and I asked for someone who knows how to navigate this in the tech world and they assigned me someone from Disney parks management. She was the sr VP but I honestly don’t think she’ll understand the scale of volatility, ambiguity, and how that translates into even less opportunity for women to advance. Not to say she hasn’t experienced the boys club, but in a far less chaotic environment. I’m meeting her for the first time today, but if she can’t speak to that, I feel like she’s not useful as a mentor.

It’s a different beast in different parts of the country also.

Ugh. Try working in the EU as a woman over 40 in tech - yikes. Boys club I coukd handle, this is entirely something worse.

I left my last company for this very reason and specifically sought out a company on those lists of “best places for women to work”

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

Last week I had to explain to my child what “politics” (as in office politics) is. My child is going to a new high school and wants to play volleyball. There was a 3 day open “tryout” for incoming freshman for 2 teams. After the first day, she noticed that
1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.

Hey!
I have credit card with last billed amount of 1,25,000. But i just received my refund of 50,000 which will be adjusted in the next cycle.

But for this cycle, should i pay the entire 1,25,000 and let my CC go into -50,000 balance or i can pay the lower outstanding amount (75,000) only?

My goal is to avoid any interest or fees.

I think she’s ready for me to be done today 🤷‍♀️
