Two Ends of the Guacamole = Conversations Across the Pacific Ocean, as one of us is now in the U.S. and the other in China. We hope to create a community where similarities and differences between the two cultures can be discussed, opposing views freely expressed, funny stories shared, career choices contrasted, and various life styles explored. Come join us in our many phone calls, episodes, and special alumni series to come, across the Pacific!
EP2-ENG: Women's Status in the Workplace - U.S. vs China (International Women's Day Special)
Only 2% of the VC funding goes to women entrepreneurs? Being asked whether you plan to get married and to have a baby during an interview? How hard has it been for women to thrive in the workplace in both U.S. and China?
At the time around the International Women's Day, "Two Ends of the Guacamole" would like to present to you a special episode focusing on women's status in the workplace, with perspectives from women in both the U.S. and China.
8 women from different age groups and industries were interviewed, including:
- Dian Grueneich, Commissioner Emeritus at California Public Utilities Commission, and Precourt Energy Scholar at the Precourt Institute for Energy, Stanford University;
- Chunguang Wang, Founder and CEO of EQuota Energy;
- Anonymous: Manager from US renewable energy corporations; US social entrepreneur; Marketing manager from Chinese drone companies; Dean of China's state-owned Design Institute, etc.
The discussions and interviews are centered around these three questions:
- How does the identity of women play a role in one's life?
- How does gender affect one's career choice and career advancement?
- How are women treated in the hiring/fundraising/other work-related process?
Some clips of the Chinese interviews are summarized by us in English in this episode. We have also released an Chinese version of this episode as well - please subscribe and find it in our list of programs.
We hope you join us in hearing these women's voices and let us know what you think!
