WealthChoice
by Hannah
2M ago
You’re changing jobs and have been offered equity compensation as part of your new salary package, which means it’s time to negotiate the best deal for yourself. If the mere thought of this sends a little shiver down your spine, please know that you are not alone. Even the most high-flying career women I work with can still struggle with this at times. We tend to be far better at advocating or negotiating for other women than we are for ourselves. The unavoidable truth is that women typically negotiate for less equity than men, perhaps explaining in part why women in the United States still c ..read more

The gender pay gap is real, as many of my clients can attest. As successful women executives working in tech, law and business, they regularly find themselves standing on the wrong side of a cavernous gap that blocks them from earning the same as their male counterparts, and often even from progressing through the ranks at their workplace. The gender pay gap sees women paid about 82 cents to every dollar earned by a man, according to analysis by the Pew Research Center in 2022. This pervasive divide is driven in part by gender and racial discrimination, workplace harassment, job segregation a ..read more

A few years ago a survey sponsored by the California Lawyers Association (CLA) and the D.C. Bar showed that 24% of women lawyers were considering leaving the profession due to mental health issues, stress or burnout. This compared with 17% for men. In addition, 67% of women revealed they suffered from moderate or severe stress, versus 49% of men. Women lawyers also reported more conflicts between work and home life.

Recently I was chatting to a potential client who, much to my pleasure, told me how valuable she found my blogs.

Like so many working women before her, this woman was feeling overwhelmed by the demands of a professional career and a family. She was finding it challenging to manage intense full-time work while giving her spouse and young children the time they needed. She felt trapped, spread too thin and overawed by the deman ..read more

When it comes to filing an annual tax return, even an intellectual heavyweight like Albert Einstein admitted to being flummoxed. The theoretical physicist once quipped: “This is too difficult for a mathematician.

It’s one thing kn ..read more
