Female finance lawyer here. My field skews male, especially in the higher echelons/partnership level.
Few people willingly sign up to be on the vanguard, agreed. And while I don’t particularly want to be on the vanguard, given that I’ve been at this a while and been through some things, I may as well use that experience for collective good. I mentor the hell out of younger attorneys. Like you, I’ve stopped sugarcoating everything. I think there’s good to be done in giving other people more complete information than they would have otherwise.
