I once attended a meeting with my boss and a guy asked: “Is she your secretary?” As if I could not possibly have technical knowledge. When I got promoted to senior level, I told my boss: “I wonder if I can do it.” “If you are getting promoted it is because you are already doing it” [laughs]. I lacked a bit of confidence. Also because I led a male-only team, there was no one with whom I could share what I felt.
