Dry Congrats on Career Accomplishments: Are Women More Excited About Relationship News?

Leave a comment

This will be quick as I know you’re busy closing business deals, setting up meetings and planning your life and every one elses.

A close acquaintance of mine was a bit bothered that when she shared some great news with friends and family everyone blew it off as “oh, that’s nice.” 
To her this was huge, life changing almost but it was treated as an everyday occurrence. It got me to thinking (every situation should) why are women so quick to jump on the bandwagon in regards to relationships but when it comes to career success the conversation is short?
Women have discovered how to control their financial destiny but are still a bit confused at how to bag the man of their dreams. The truth is in today’s society it’s an easier task becoming CEO of your company than to find a man that genuinely loves, appreciates and respects you. This is a hard reality for many of us. 
So I guess because a large chunk of women are moving up the corporate ladder a promotion is no longer BIG news but moving up the relationship ladder is bit more of an accomplishment. 
Do your friends seem more excited about relationship subjects than career subjects? Why do think that is?

The tech world reacted with shock to the news. But it’s perhaps time everyone got used to the idea that Mayer, who was Google’s 20th employee and who is credited with the success of many of its most famous products, isn’t the kind of person who does only what people expect her to do.
“There is such a stereotype of the hacker — the pasty-skinned guy with the thick glasses, the pocket protector, the blue glow coming off of the monitor … people think if they’re going to be good at this, that’s what they need to be,” Mayer told CNN in an interview earlier this year.
