What’s more badass than talking about money? Although most of us cringe at the thought of sharing our salary with others, Slack exec Rukmini Reddy believes it’s one of the best ways to advance your career.
As the SVP of Engineering, Platform at Slack, Rukmini tells us about the “network of incredible women” in her industry, who are open about sharing compensation data with one another. The results? They lift each other up and land better paying jobs.
“I’m not shy about discussing money,” says Rukmini, who’s Indian. “I encourage all women to call a friend and tell them how much you make, and just be really uncomfortable.”
Rukmini also fills us in on why you should scrutinize the feedback you receive at work and how you can manage impostor syndrome as a multicultural woman.
