In many social situations, if I meet a man who doesn’t ask what I do within the first few questions, I might well assume he thinks women’s professional lives don’t matter. More

If anyone has worked with a college counselor who can tell you how to promote yourself through social media, or run a successful campaign on Kickstarter, or just be a freelancer in general (creating contracts, setting rates, collections), please, leave a comment. I’d love to hear about this mythical unicorn. More

Would you like to get ahead at Goldman Sachs? You should begin by wrapping your intern arms around another female intern as though you are a giant squid, strangling the world. And then, as you bask in the afterglow, you should tell an appropriate racist joke! More

You know, maybe everyone should all just go back to hiring assistants, because it seems like unpaid interns are increasingly likely to sue their employers. Just consider Erica, the intern who recently sued Norma Kamali. The problem wasn’t the Erica was never hired. After three months of unpaid internship work with Kamali she was hired on as a graphic designer for 45K. However, she was fired about a month afterwards. More

You may think, “The wage gap only applies to women with feeble little brains that have been made weak by all their thoughts of babies.” If so, you have what it takes to be a successful trader. Unfortunately, in the world where facts exist, even women who graduate from Harvard will earn less than their male counterparts. More

Look. Billionaire investor Paul Tudor Jones doesn’t think that women are terrible. He had a mother, and everything! He doesn’t even think they’re incompetent. He just thinks that they don’t make good traders because they keep having babies and it makes their brains all feeble. More

I know that Sheryl Sandberg – and everyone on the Internet – is very adamant that we, as women, need to “Lean in.” You know, with your career. You should lean in. What exactly does it even mean to lean in? More

Earlier this year, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, who tells us she’s not a feminist (and that feminism has become “a more negative word”), both built herself a nursery in the office and also canceled everyone else’s work-from-home situations, because water cooler discussions are apparently more valuable than the people who live far from a Yahoo office, have disabilities that make commuting difficult, have babies but aren’t CEO, etc. More

Jennifer Dziura writes career and life advice weekly on TheGloss. Here is an archive, and here is an archive of Bullish columns from our sister site TheGrindstone.
This December, I spent two weeks in a hotel in Florida, mostly by myself, periodically transferring myself from a chaise lounge by the pool to a spot at the hotel bar, wrapped up in thought.
(See Bullish: How to Have a Staidcation).
I was partly rewarding myself for churning out another educational book last year (I did a lot of work on this), but I was mostly churning away on a BIG PLAN THAT I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT NOW:
This 2013, I am starting 12 businesses in 12 months. More

At various points, we discussed having a historical ceremony performed by a George Washington impersonator, getting married at sea by a crusty old sea captain according to the laws of the ocean circa 1700, and getting someone to do a secular ceremony in Latin. Maybe something from ancient Rome. These suggestions were not practical. More

So, I did a piece for the New York Post about the sexiness of doormen. As one friend mentioned, the appeal has a lot to do with the fact that “They’re handsome, protective figures — who you also are in charge of.” More
I recently spoke at Yale University, where it was icy and Gothic, everyone was very nice and very smart, and I was reminded of what it was like to be 21 and not know how to order a cocktail yet. I was also reminded of what it was like to be able to say, “I study literature” (or philosophy, or economics) and have that mean basically full-time: I LIVE THE LIFE OF THE MIND. Oh, college!
Specifically, I was the guest at a Master’s Tea, wherein the master of one of Yale’s residential colleges chats with a guest about some interesting topic. We drank Earl Grey. It was very civilized. Although the posters for my talk said nothing gender-specific, almost everyone who showed up was female. I just have that vibe, I guess. More

As you get older, you start to figure things out. I’ve spent months looking at and contemplating this copy of The Atlantic that is somehow always on my desk, and I’ve come to some conclusions. Here are some thoughts on ways you, personally, can “have it all.” More
