[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These people are delusional. You have to be friendly with leadership in a way that doesn’t show how obvious you are.  Easier when you are into same things like golf or similar college. [/quote]

This is a man answer.  It doesn’t work that way for women, because men don’t want to be a woman’s buddy.  When men work with women they want them to be as PP put it “hyper-competent”[/quote]

Maybe true, but being "hyper-competent" isn't enough, it is the minimum b.  It can work well for early career women because bosses will try to elevate you if they are good. But you'll plateau with this as your only strategy.  If OP is in her mid-30s, she is going to need to figure out how to be visible to decision makers.  Men can do this more easily on a social level, but you can be strategic about working on projects with high profile people.  You also can be vocal and ask what you need to get to the next level.

Of course, you [b]also[/b] have to be hyper competent, especially as a POC and a woman.  [/quote]
