They'd ask, you know, I'm getting ready.
I'm interviewing with a company that's famous for not paying women as much as they pay men.
How should I handle it?
And my answer is don't interview with them.
because I'm going to answer you like a dad, and you say, Dad, this guy's abusive to me.
How do I get him to be better?
You don't.
You leave him.
So if it's an abusive environment, or even if the core values don't line up with you, don't take that job.
It's like having a relationship with a person whose core values don't line up with yours.
It's going to be painful.
You're not going to change them.
So you're interviewing them as much as they're interviewing you.
Do you like their core values?
Do you like what they stand for?
because you can't flourish if you don't.
So those are the starting points.
So if you're going in for that conversation, should you try to time it around a time you've had a big win within the company or you're on a high?
For a race?
Yeah.
