Journeys within FinTech: A Panel on Women’s Career Progression
summary
Panel captures concrete career tactics: stories of relocating and rebuilding a network (one moved countries, another spent 15 years at Morgan Stanley), a clear distinction between identify sponsors versus mentors and coaches, and a repeatable plan of three-month check-ins to turn feedback into advocacy. Advice includes how to ask a manager for promotion or pay, using open source to build a public profile and cross‑discipline visibility, and meeting tactics for being interrupted (ask to finish, follow up one‑on‑one). It focuses on actionable steps rather than abstract encouragement.
