Has anyone here experienced glass ceiling at work place? How did you deal with it? Did you leave the workplace?
It is important that you stand out and break out of the mold for your current position to demonstrate that you’re able to take on higher level responsibilities. Volunteering for a new project outside of your current scope can be a good opportunity. Seek out mentors who can support your career goals. It’s important to have internal advocates who can assert and support your career growth; without this, advancing your career can be much more challenging.
When facing these invisible barriers at workplace, it’s important to voice your experiences. Confronting problems that make you feel uncomfortable is scary, but other people may face these problems, too, and your bravery can benefit them. If you notice a pay gap between yourself and your counterparts, make sure you highlight your strengths well. Advocating for yourself means believing in your abilities and the career goals you’ve set out to reach.
