Good Guys: Asking My Number!
BAM. OK, it’s not the first time. But it’s been a long time.
“Caroline, what’s your number?” And this good guy is definitely not asking for my digits.
For those, I’ll go first. + 1 202 415 9873. Call me!

“I am sure you are gonna offer me a package that is equivalent with the richness of my experience AND equal the other leaders there.
