01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

Don't doubt yourself and speak up. We women even in corporate careers take a lot of shit from male co-workers and bosses. Speak up for yourself. If you don't, nobody will. If you don't know how to value yourself, your boss is also not gonna value you.
