I might be wrong but I presume that she signs an NDA or has some sort of clause like that built into her contract.
Probably, yes... but that would cover the specifics of working at LL, and I still think she could keep to the terms whilst deconstructing a lot of the issues:
- The expectation of working 12+ hour days, making it impossible to have a life, that you are set up for with the seemingly insane amount of study you need to do on the LPC to even get there in the first place.
- The fact that she originally wanted to do Human Rights, as do many, but all the money is in Commercial. Is it really right that that is where all our brightest and most capable are pushed towards if they want to earn a good salary?
- The incredibly specific skillset that you learn, that probably makes it really hard for people to leave if it isn't the industry for them. It seems like Eve really lucked out finding a 'seat' in her TC that enabled her to pivot out of law when she wasn't enjoying it any more.
I think there's a lot to say about as she decided to embrace her true self (being out as gay) rather than embodying what others wanted her to be, she found that the environment of Corporate Law wasn't for her any more. I do expect her to move on from that tech role fairly soon, once she's spent enough time to establish herself in the industry. What can we take from that about how the industry really thinks of diversity - are they just finding people who tick boxes and/or look different to the stereotype, but otherwise want them to be exactly the same and maintain the status quo?
