Technical Account Manager

Being a woman in tech, I only recently started advocating for myself at work about advancement opportunities. Because of this I wanted to ask this question to my male counterparts. When you have 1:1's with your direct reports and talk about career growth / aspirations what is your managers’ response typically? I’d like to gauge how my experience (negative) differs from others. For instance are you met with blockades, enthusiasm, dread, etc?

    Being a virtual-first workplace doesn’t mean we’re virtual-only. Each quarter, Thumbtack Local Communities (cities with 10+ employees) get together in real life to hang out and connect. Our NYC Local Community recently had their quarterly meet-up in Sheep’s Meadow in Central Park to catch up, enjoy snacks and get to know one another better. We believe a strong sense of local community adds real value to our work and personal lives.
