^ This is the answer.

It also applies to the questions, “how do I know if I’m going to get laid off?” and “how do I know if I’ll need to go back to school for an entirely new career when I turn 40?”

You start looking for a new job

You keep seeing repeating numbers, like 10:10

It’s the universe saying you will get a raise of 20 dollars.

If you haven’t talked to your manager about it consistently for the last 6 months, it’s not gonna happen. Outside of that, changes in business / SOW budget or overall agency health are good indicators.

I’m a woman in my mid 20s and constantly face situations where people outside of cyber (still within the company) that I’m dealing with (older men in particular) who always push back against my cyber/technical recommendations even with managers cc’d. I studied, earned certs, and worked hard to get to where I am. Is it bc of my gender and age? In all honesty, I’ve written recommendations that male counterparts voiced in the past that had ZERO pushbacks.
