Fighting Prejudice

So it's real. There really is prejudice among people in the corporate world. I can feel it. I can feel how people seemed to be doubtful about me whenever they hear that I don't have even the littlest background in banking.

Why I Can't Seem to Move Forward with Life

Have you ever felt so stagnant? Like whatever you do, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to move forward? Like you’re just running around in circles, figuring out how to get out of the depressing loop called ‘life’ but no matter what take you turn, you’ll just end up on step one? I have. And it wasn’t a very pleasant experience. For years, I’ve strived but it all became tumultuous when I lost my job last year, June. I was in the dark, blind and clueless as...
