Work in Madagascar, $1000 grants for gender justice leaders, doing it for the plot, and a 400K salary in healthcare!
5 minutes read
Hey sis,
She got in! A few days back, a sister in our community shared that she got into a graduate investment banking internship program Sisterly HQ posted a while back. At first, she didn’t think she could do it. In her own words, ‘I was very sceptical about my qualifications … because I saw that the people selected had very impressive profiles’. But she did it anyway, and she got in. Some months later, she officially began her career as a Finance and Investment Analyst in a reputable company.
This week, what opportunity will you say Yes to despite your fears? Remember, women are less likely to apply for opportunities if they don’t meet all the criteria. Meanwhile, men will apply if they only meet 60%. Sis, I am challenging you to do it for the plot. APPLY. There’s so much growth, becoming, and potential waiting on the other side of the Submit button.
