I love this! As a 25 year old Senior IT, I am also moving into a Project Management role for telecommunications at my firm. I was performing a site inspection two days ago and the first thing out of the customer's mouth was, "where is your boss?" When I responded that I am it, he laughed and said I couldnt have been over 18. Of course I could have taken that as a compliment, it is a huge stigma in the business world. What I do? Im aggressive. I dont second guess myself, and I maintain an air of confidence. Its hard, but there are plenty of hungry sharks out there. Have to make yourself look less like prey, and more like a fellow shark..
