Tara, an MD/PhD who works for a large public university, contacted one of us (Suzanne) a few weeks after participating in a negotiation workshop she ran, wanting to share some positive news about successfully negotiating an 11% pay increase. A faculty member for six years, she had come to learn that she was not only underpaid but also had a […]

Comme vous le savez si vous avez travaillé dans une banque d’investissement, il existe souvent une lutte inhérente entre ceux qui travaillent sur le trading floor et ceux qui travaillent dans la technologie. Il est amplement illustré par un événement de mon passé pas si lointain. Une nuit après la fermeture des marchés, j’étais dans un pub avec quelqu’un qui travaillait dans […]

I’m a woman in banking. I’m a vice president and am nearly a decade into my career in the investment banking division (IBD) of a European bank in London.

A cause de son incapacité chronique à lancer de nouveaux produits, la pépite française a sans doute perdu l’occasion de briller encore plus.

Arthur and Kathleen Breitman thought they held the secret to building a new decentralized utopia. On the way, they plunged into a new kind of hell. A crypto-tragedy in three acts. ONE DAY IN the spring of 2010, Kathleen McCaffrey, a sophomore at New York University, received an invitation from a stranger named Arthur Breitman. On the basis of what […]

In my work interviewing remarkable women leaders, I’ve been seeing a huge trend of women connecting with and investing in other women. Whether as mentors, advisors, philanthropists, or investors, women are increasingly supporting each other in their careers, goals, and lives. And yes, we can all tell stories about negative experiences connecting with other women—I’ve had my own horrible boss and […]

This week, I went back to school. That’s right, I donned my metaphorical backpack, moved into a dorm, and started business school classes. So far it’s been extremely fun, really educational—and completely overwhelming.

Des jeunes, entre 25 et 40 ans, autrement dit une partie de la génération Y, se réunissent plusieurs fois par an pour challenger les comex des grandes entreprises, avec des mandats d’un ou deux ans, renouvelés.
