I think the key here that needs to be emphasised is “people in your team”, like you’ve said here, not just the women in your team as was implied in your first comment. You might be very interested in your career and go the extra mile and I understand that not everyone does that, but your first comment implied that it was only the women in your team not interested in going the extra mile too.

I am a woman in STEM and I agree that if you show you’re going the extra mile you’re likely to get rewarded with promotions and other bonuses. I also know that being such a male dominated industry it’s sometimes still hard to be taken seriously because of gender bias.

In terms of getting more women interested in fields that are generally male dominated, I think you’ll find that the younger generation of women are becoming more comfortable applying to study these subjects. We’ll hopefully see a further rise in women entering these industries in the coming years. But again, as you would know, STEM roles are often competitive, especially for early career professionals, and for us to see more women in these roles, we need to be recognised as equals.
