Episode 161: What is Happening to Women's Careers Right Now?
/“It’s not so much that those career questions went away, it’s as if they exist in a different plane in time. And we’re not existing in that plane right now.”
Jessi Hempel
In this episode I sit down with Jessi Hempel, host of LinkedIn's Hello Monday podcast on the future of work.
We talk about how the last six months have affected women's careers in particular, and what might happen next. We discuss who's able to get ahead right now, and the delights of a supportive manager whose home/work life is as crazy as your own.
This is an incredibly uncertain time. A time when a lot of us are simply managing the day to day, which is itself challenging.
Jessi and I don't have a crystal ball, but we wonder - will this pandemic have lasting effects on women's progress?
This is the first of a few shows looking at what’s happening to women’s careers as this global health crisis continues.
