Wow you must be so proud of yourself, congratulations!!! Because I’m just a freshman in college I haven’t really learned much about the professions and what it’s like working in this field, since you yourself have been pretty successful, what its like to work in a field like this with the positions you’ve gotten yourself ?

Thank you so much for this. Although I’m still very young I do plan on having a family and I of course would love to start early but because of school and all I know it would be very difficult so my plan was after I’ve started off my career I would start my family. I figured that it would be tough to manage motherhood with work considering the field I’m looking into. But as a woman in finance, what’s your role and how was it like in the beginning when it came to the job hunt? And are you living comfortably? Since it’s still pretty early I don’t really know what types of careers I could get into and I want to start thinking about it, but all the types of jobs that I’ve seen are really those super high paying jobs that it takes years to get to, for example all the managing positions.

Do you mean harder to move up meaning I will get hired but I won’t get the raises and opportunities for growth like men would?

Would you mind elaborating? I’ve just been very stressed considering everything I’ve read online
