Interview with Yulia Gordeeva, Head of Global Sales and Strategic Partnerships at Vimera
Vimera | Andersen Group
Salesforce gives a box — we think it out. Salesforce customization to make your CRM work & increase customer engagement.
- Yulia Gordeeva , do you think there are fewer steps and slopes in men's career ladder than in women's? Have you ever had to compete with men for a certain position in the company?
-I don't think there is a definite answer here, it all depends on the industry, country, cultural background and historical facts. But I agree that, in many cases, a woman's career ladder has more steps and slopes, steeper inclines, and additional obstacles such as prejudices and stereotypes against women. Additionally, household duties and family management often become extra tasks that women must juggle alongside their careers. This can make balancing everything quite challenging.
As for the second question, competition for any position is inevitable, whether with women or men, so the answer to this question is definitely Yes. While I believe that fair competition is positive, the situation changes when women are disadvantaged simply because of their gender. On my career path, I have met different employers, with and without prejudice. Fortunately, I have met a lot more of the latter, and that's exactly what my bosses have been like when I've worked with them. At Vimera, we have a mixed team, which I'm sure we are all very happy about!
