1. shrink myself in rooms I earned a seat in 2. accept the first salary offer. negotiating is not rude, it is necessary 3. wait until I feel “ready” to go after something 4. sacrifice my peace for productivity and call it ambition 5. stay loyal to a plan that no longer serves where I am going 6. say yes to opportunities just because they’re flattering. Choose alignment!! 7. work without a contract (take it from me lol!) 8. let imposter syndrome make the decision for me 9. navigate without a mentor, someone has already walked this road, find them!! 10. Let a man convince me to be a house wife I hope this serves as a reminder that taking your career seriously starts with how you treat yourself in the process 💗 #careeradvice #careertok #jobsearch #firstgenerationprofessional #womenwhowork
