Are you a woman considering a different field of work, or even a new role in your current field, for personal or professional reasons? In this chat we held on Twitter recently, women who have worked through a career change shared their thoughts on the experience – what motivated them to seek a change, what the challenges were, and how they’ve made it work.
We enjoyed having this chat and gaining diverse perspectives from women who have undertaken career changes, and shared their thoughts on making this transition work. We will be organising such chats regularly on Twitter, on alternate Wednesdays, do look out for the #StepAbove hashtag to participate and share your thoughts too.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
