[quote=Anonymous]Confidence. Believe that you deserve things, ask for the things that you deserve (if they are important to you). Take ownership in your career. Be planning ahead. Make strategic decisions. Make your boss's life easier, not harder. Don't whine, don't complain - it will never fix anything. Anticipate what your boss's boss wants from them -- and everything you do should be in service of that goal. Have a high earning spouse. It takes tremendous professional pressure off. Both DH and I have been able to take dramatic risks in our jobs, knowing that we had the other as financial back up if something went wrong. Those risks were what made our careers. We are both now mid-40s, each have salaries close to seven figures, and work full time remotely, with good work life balance, in jobs we both find very satisfying. [/quote]
