Looking from a management perspective, women’s position in managerial roles has improved, although not to the extent it should have been. Pursuing MBA from a premier B-School, I have always dreamt of reaching great heights in my management career but one thing that haunts me is whether the society would support me, if my parents would be proud of me working late hours, if my in-laws would be supportive if I travel cities to meet my job requirements and most importantly would my better half be the same loving and caring one even if we don’t catch up for dinners.
My mom is a working lady. She has been through all phases of work-life balance and the problem a working woman faces at every stage of life when crossroads made her sacrifice her career. Looking at my dreams of doing a Sales and Marketing job, she gets apprehensive. Understandably, since society has been the major source shaping her thoughts.
