Through personal stories and thoughtful advice, Stephanie Hayman describes her experience working in corporate America in her twenties. As a woman in my twenties attempting to enter corporate America myself, her stories made me smile and her advice had me reading paragraphs over again just to make sure I really got the information (especially the one about retirement plans yikes). I was especially excited to read this because Stephanie went to the same college/graduate program that I’m attending right now. If you’re just getting started in the workplace, I definitely recommend this book for you!
