Once I made it onto a team, I realized I wanted to run my own team. First, I had to overcome the "ring of fire."
I blew it the first time I entered "the ring." The president had a loud voice and sounded like the most aggressive used-car salesman. I was not going to run a team if I could not play this game. Period. There is no way I would have the confidence today if I had not been forced to overcome so many fears early on.
I worked in finance for 15 yrs - 10 women were hired for every 2 men (like CNBC for past 20 yrs) per year and women were promoted 3 times more than men - men had not voice and women were mentored by men and women but men were ignored or laid off = reality check fools SquawkCNBC
Great Op-ed! Shared it with my college sophomore daughter who will be interning at a major 'bank' this summer on Wall Street. Ironically, she has been contacted by numerous WS+ firms asking her to intern with them, incl. in London, San Francisco and others. Years of hard work!
People need a little more good news now.
are women taught to fear making money by society?
