[quote=Anonymous]I have always been an individual contributor. However, I have also started my own consulting practice, in 2008, before I turned 40. It was just something I did on the side. You can easily make yourself an executive by starting your own business, if it's that important. I keep my ego in check. I ask myself what is that I really want? I'm 53, soon to be 54, white non-Hispanic female. I was recently laid off. I've had luck with interviews. I have two 1099 contract gigs. I'm sure I will have another W2 gig by next year 2024. I've had interviews for jobs that pay at least 20% more than what I was making. The key to a successful job search is to apply for jobs you know you will get. Women are told to apply for jobs even if you don't meet all of the qualifications. You can do that. Some of those jobs are for political reasons and for favors of political friends. [/quote]
