Talking to another female in corporate America. And I’m curious: does anyone else ROCKKKK at their job. I mean, own it so hard that you’re up for promotion early, but you know it’s a “hush” promotion (give her something to appease when they got wind I was inquiring about pay scale and that I was “open to work” on LinkedIn) when you know you’ve been doing the work worth 3 times what you make, and they obviously see it too.
BUT, when it comes to actually presenting your case and asking for a full revamp of the position to actuality, and compensate accordingly, you freeze?
Why is it so hard to self advocate?? Why does Imposter Syndrome/fear of rejection set in NOW? Insurmountable writer’s block.
Does anyone else experience this? How did you overcome it? I have to finish this proposal, like, yesterday. They know it’s coming. They’ve said we’d meet in early June and put all cards on the table (basically), so I want to play my hand right. AND NOTHING IS COMING OUT.
