A Word of Advice to my Women Breaking into Finance

I am a double major pursuing a B.S in computer science and finance. I've ran into so many instances where my male counterparts will try to either undermine my input or overpower my argument because their confidence always seemed to overshadow mine. The one thing I've learned in my years studying in fields that are overwhelmingly male is, do not be afraid to assert your dominance. Men are less likely to admit they are wrong and apologize compared to women. Put people in their place but remember to be amicable and know how to play the game.

Eum eos est amet quo. Quas fugit animi consequuntur ut et et officia.

Modi est optio sit aut sit quos. Ut ut impedit rerum quidem ut. Quaerat corrupti temporibus pariatur delectus ut et vero similique. Consequatur numquam dicta qui esse. Et et magnam deserunt magni suscipit perspiciatis. Quibusdam et nemo necessitatibus eum aspernatur ut ipsum. Eius quod aliquam sed autem et eaque et.
