## Caption

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 💗
