Survey

Career Success and Satisfaction:
Are women going after what they want?

The Study

After three decades of women feeling the pressure to go after C-level jobs in U.S. corporations and in so doing sending the glass ceiling to its long-anticipated demise, we wanted to know if the quest for representation in the executive suite is real, or is it just a myth the media are keeping alive on life support.  This year we decided to find out.

We asked over 700 college-educated professional women in eight major U.S. market areas:

• How they define career success for themselves.
• How satisfied they are with their career choices today given how they define success.
• For women who are not satisfied, why that is.
• What plans they have in place for changing their less-than-satisfying situations.
• What’s stopping them from going after what they want.
