[quote=Anonymous]I aspire to the C-suite and am overwhelmingly ambitious, but I am a woman of color so my expectations and ease of experience have been continually tempered by the reality of external forces. I think for a white guy with that level of success and ambition, you can realistically expect that he will continue on an upward trajectory and you will always come second to his career. I seriously dated an exec who might have been called a workaholic, and also came from prep school/the Ivy League (and was tall and had blue eyes): while I wouldn’t say he was narcissistic, he became so used to being in charge and running the show that the vulnerability and intimacy necessary for successful relationships did not come naturally to him. If we had stayed together, my career and ambitions would for sure have been secondary to his.[/quote]
