Women in STEM
Good morning! My company has an excellent Program to support females during different pivotal stages (Youth, University and Professional) to pursue STEM careers. This is a global initiative with aggressive targets to reach girls from K-12th grade by means of STEM workshops, panel of speakers, virtual connections, etc. For University students, we also have robust partnerships with universities to provide appropriate tools to females to continue studying STEM careers. As professional level, our company promotes the hiring of females in STEM careers as well as the retaining of top talents in these fields.
We would like to understand what other companies are doing to keep supporting females in STEM Careers.
If you know about any company that has a program in place around this topic, please advise on point of contact. We will be delighted to share learnings, thoughts, commonalities with other companies that are passionate about the topic as much as we are.
Wishing you the best during these difficult days!

A dream role position has landed on my plate while I’m not feeling my very best due to a health issue.
I’m okay 65-70% percent of time but lately it’s been flaring. I don’t want to lose the opportunity and feel I should at least try and do my best. I'm praying to god, to help me land this job only if its meant to be as im afraid my health “might “ affect my performance. I’m currently still going through the interview process. Would like some feedback from some mid -senior level professionals. Has anyone been in this situation before?

Opinion on secondment
I've been in my company for 9 months .
The perfect secondment opportunity came up .
My manager said to meet the secondment manager.
However, my meeting didn't go well.
I asked all the relevant questions but the secondment manager was very negative in her responses and I felt bad vibes.
The role was perfect and exactly what Ive been dreaming of .
But every question I'd ask she would be negative and say x person is tough x team will write bad reviews.
I didn't know if this was to check how i'd behave so I just twisted it positively and say how I'd adapt and help her with these challenges.
I rejected the opportunity but don't know if it's the right decision.
How do you determine if the secondment is right for you
