Wondering , how hard has it been for women to get promoted? Do you need to prove your worth more? Have a better network? Do challenging work better ? Any pointers appreciated!
Isn’t it equally hard to get promotions for men and women?
I'm looking at the number of women at the top leadership positions. Probably the industry I am in ?
I see, there are fewer women working in your industry, that means it is statistically speaking “normal” to see less women at top leadership positions right?, assuming it is equally hard for men and women to get there. Note: Not trying to be disrespectful, just want to be sure I understand your question
Guess it depends on what field and where. My team has one woman on it and there are only a few in the surrounding groups. I really don't think it's for a lack of trying though. I feel IBM would hire anybody so long as they can do the work and be willing to put up with tons of corporate nonsense and bogus raises.
As a woman I think it's more difficult to get promoted in the sense that I have lesser leeway to go wrong. If I screw up a project or don't want to stay late at work, my gender is immediately related to it. 'the project was too technical for her, or that she is a mom so can't stay late". Reverse the situation and you will not hear many people say, "the project was too technical for him, or he can't stay late because he is a dad". I have also noticed the 'bro-hugs' or those friendly bro-hits on the shoulder or happy hours or smoke breaks benefit a male manager and male associate relationship more than anyone else. I faced this situation in my previous company. My current company pays a lot of emphasis on it's culture so it's all good here :)
Giving a tap to someone on the shoulder would not equate to harassment. Stop being a ❄️
@Google not saying my manager should give me a friendly shoulder tap. But just pointing out that such gestures build up bro-camaraderie among male managers and male associates.

This has worked for me (1) focus on delivering results that upper management cares about (2) sometimes taking risks and disagreeing with upper management to push for change that gives those results (3) be vocal about wanting to move up (4) be ready to do whatever work it takes
Seems like the answers you are looking for are: Women need to prove themselves more than all the men to get promoted. Women are not appreciated even if they are smarter than men. Women are been looked down by all managers, leaders and every men. Well, you see what u are. Here are key points to get promoted. - Be smarter than being hardworking. People who do smart work impress a lot and get promoted quickly. - Lead a product end to end, from design to delivering the product. A good sustainable design is more important than coding work. - Impress people - People refer to or come to person with good skills for help upon any doubts or issues. - Spread any new learnings to the team. Hold on knowledge sharing sessions and help team to gain new skills. - Make sure you be in a project where there is a room for promotion. Being in a team with many developers at the same level might reduce the chances of your promotion (unless you are the only one that's performing well) PS: Above points are irrespective of gender.
I’ve seen women get promotions
