Yep. I've by now driven three projects trough successful exits, but when I apply to leadership roles I get talked down because I'm too young and don't "look the part", so to say.
The whole hiring and human resource management stack is in shambles, built out of century outdated concepts and prejudices.
- giantg2 5y ago"built out of century outdated concepts and prejudices." Funny thing is, the opposite can be simultaneously true. My company makes a big deal about diversity. I look the part etc, but I don't fit any of their diversity metrics. So you can't fit the stereotype too closely or you're hurting their metrics, but you also can't be too "out there". You have to fit in that narrow band of helping them meet their metrics while also towing the line enough to preserve the "culture".
