Had an interview today with two female interviewers. Financial industry. Shook the first woman's hand firmly, and she gave me that "you shook my hand hard" face.
The next woman, I shook her hand a little bit softer. I was offered the job, but at the end of the interview, the second woman says:
"Just some advice for when you meet the other women around here, shake their hand firm like you would with a man. The other women won't like that. People think women aren't strong enough for a real handshake, but we are. We're probably stronger than men. "
The first chick laughs and says: "He shook my hand firmly and it kind of hurt."
What gives?
