Office Events

everyday life 1 Minute

This week is packed with multiple office events. On Tuesday, our firm hosted a workshop organized by 100 Women in Finance. Rebecca Malotke-Meslin talked about negotiationg strategies. I was hoping for more generic negotiation techniques, but it was mostly about salary and promotion negotiations, although very well done!

Today, we had a Women Networking Breakfast at our rooftop. A little piece of irony: our regular breakfast is/was much better! We had a fruit salad, Greek yogurt, spinach and onion scramble, and proscutto and pesto scramble. And an apricot-raspberry topping for oatmeal. And freshly baked croissants. And the networking breakfast had iced coffee, chocolate croissants, and donuts. So I had a “normal breakfast” and then went to networking!

Tons of great conversations, new connections and catching up!

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
