Determined to change her situation, the woman quit her job and pursued further education. After earning her degree from an Ivy League university, she returned to the same startup at 2.5 times her previous salary - a sweet revenge on those who doubted her capabilities.
How did people react?
The comments section reflected a variety of opinions.?
While some found her story inspiring, others questioned the emphasis on attending an Ivy League institution.
One commenter remarked, "Ivy League college made money because other Ivy League graduates hurt her ego," while another noted, "First time hearing of Ivy League snobbery at a startup. I thought that culture was limited to IB and Management Consulting."
Another comment read, "Good on her, but I really hope there are other ways for women to be taken seriously at work than obtaining an Ivy League degree."
Meanwhile, someone else pondered, "Considering the time spent on getting and completing the Ivy degree, do you think she could have achieved 2.5 times her salary in that same period?"
