Ive been working in this Biotech Co for the past 4 months. I enjoy my work and have been doing quite well. The CEO asked me to visit our clients in the US and go to a global conference instead of him. So it would only me and the VP of business development. We both report to the CEO. This did not sit well with the VP, who inspite of me asking him politely, refused to share the conference details...

I have always been involved with men my age (which is 34) or younger, and it has not always helped me professionally - insecurities, more weightage to their career, etc. Is it healthier to get involved with much older men? And how old would that be? Or age doesnt matter; whether older or younger..its the understanding...I think the latter would be the ideal situation. It may start out this way...

My fiance knew from the very beginning what my career goals were. He is totally with it now but when they begin to take off at full speed I am bracing myself for some backlash. But nevertheless I will not let him deter me. We have already established that it is very much likely that I will be making a bulk of the money and he is okay with it. But I guess he's cool with it because he knows that I...

As I look back over my 30s I can see how my gradual scaling back from full time career to part time stay at home has ended up placing me in a hole. Though my husband and I started out making the same money, it was me/mom who cut back while he built up his career. I was exhausted trying to do it all, work, clean, balance career and family. I saw the laundry and dirty dishes, he did not care about...

Deciding to have kids, getting pregnant at 32 right after achieving a senior position at my company, and taking extended maternity leave. Enough said, right, Damsels? For most women, children are the biggest professional risk they take but well worth it....

In 1989 I sold my company to design business cases for professional women. I was living in Dallas at the time and had a successful wholesale gift business for 10 years. I went to NYC for a meeting. I finally got a major brand to represent and I was thrilled. I needed something to carry my files and personal necessities and refused to carry a man's briefcase so I had a faux pink snakeskin attache...

i wish I would have been encouraged more to go into fields such as engineering, mathematics, science, law, etc. I thought my potential was mainly within the softer fields, such as psychology, teaching. I never knew my full potential until recently, and it is in more of the male dominated field of law. I know it will be a tough road ahead, as in the relatively conservative city where I live...

I spent way too much time taking the easy road and holding back on chasing dreams because I was afraid of failing. I eventually found my way back to my passion (which is now my career), but if I had taken a few calculated risks in my early 20s, before I was bound by student loans and major living expenses, I would have learned a lot more and had more opportunities. Thankfully, there are always...
