@alex.careerqueen: here’s the advice to listen to instead ⬇️ it’s true that guidance helps. but “find a mentor” skips the part where advice alone doesn’t move you up a level… someone actually has to advocate for you when you’re not in the room. that’s the sponsor gap, and it’s well-documented: employees with a sponsor get promoted at almost double the rate of those without one. and men are more likely to have sponsors. so stop collecting advice and start looking for someone senior enough to spend political capital on you 👀
