What a weird mentality!!! Humare saath aisa hua toh doosron ke saath bhi aisa hona chahiye mentality. On the first day of joining this group itself I got many contacts. While others were asking for reference, I didn't need any reference. And most of the women responded positively. Some took time but they did respond later. Leave aside your senior junior mentality. We all are equal and our aim for joining this group is the same. This is not a workplace where your seniority will give you more salary.
