What’s the gender balance like in your teams? I’m seeing far more women in product than in our engineering or UX/UI design tracks. Curious about how you think it affects dynamics

At the moment I am on a team of nearly all male engineers - I find this to be fairly typical of my past experiences as well. Designer make up is a bit more mixed. I’ve been lucky as I’ve never felt this affected me negatively even when I’m the only woman in the room. I think projecting confidence and security in myself helps a lot with that!

I have experienced different gender balances over my jobs.

13 years old in a start-up, I was the only female in product / engineering / documentation / design. There was around 35 employees total.

9 years ago in 100,000 employee company that had been around 20+ years. It was 25% female / 75% male in product jobs. All the product leadership were male.

6 years ago in 3,000 employee company. It was 50/50. All product leadership were male. There were some women managing a team of product managers. But director and above were male.


Today I am in 600+ employee company. And there are women in leadership as product directors. It is about 50/50.

Struggling to get work at a free market firm after lateraling. I was very well liked at my prior firm and had high hours so really struggling to understand why folks don’t seem to want to come back to me with more work. For those at free market firms, how frequently do you have to ask for work? How do you typically ask? Just send partners emails asking if they have any deals for you? Thanks y’all.

Hello, I am in USI GES tax at DUSI. I love my job but not my team and mgmt anymore. I'm a performer and I'm dumped with work of 2 ppl while others are searching for work. I am burned out.

I resigned and accepted a job with EY GDS with a huge pay bump that DUSI can't match but I also gave up my potential promotion for 2023.

I've been feeling bad about putting my papers down and letting go off my promotion but I am really tired. I took up this job as an escape.

Did i do the right thing?
