I've had to learn how to advocate for myself more. It's not enough to work hard as a woman and hope people take notice. You have to speak for yourself and build a network of people that will also share the work you've done. I used to find it quite uncomfortable at first to share my achievements and what I'd like to do. But after observing how other male colleagues were doing that, I found a way that fit my style but still being able to sell my ideas. That really helped me gain more visibility and ultimately got rewarded.

Totally agree it’s not enough even though it obviously should be. Instead we have to change ourselves to be more like men. Thank you for the book rec!
