These were the words that the hiring manager used to reject me during my first engineering interview. He was wrong.
In the next 6 years, not only did I become an engineer, I also moved to the US, pivoted careers, got promoted to manager, raised my salary to six-figures and became an investor on track to be a millionaire.

I SPENT YEARS BEING UNDERESTIMATED, HELD BACK AND BROKE.
One day at lunch, the newly hired male coworkers that I was training started sharing their salaries, a conversation that made me feel uncomfortable because I was taught that talking about money was bad and rude. Sounds familiar?
What I heard shocked me. By far, I had the lowest salary in the department!
SOMETHING HAD TO CHANGE AND IT HAD TO BE ME.
After switching my mindset, learning strategies to level-up my career, educating myself about personal finances and using my voice to claim my worth, I created Relentless Latina as a platform for women to find tools, resources, actionable strategies and motivation to grow their career and money.
