Alicia Menendez is an MSNBC anchor and host of the Latina to Latina podcast. Dubbed "Ms. Millennial" by The Washington Post, "journalism's new gladiator" by Elle, and a "content queen" by Marie Claire, her interviews and reporting have appeared on ABC News, Bustle, FusionTV, PBS and Vice News. In this episode of IN PURSUIT, she and host Amy Elisa dig into how women, and sometimes men as well, struggle to balance appearing to be nice but not too nice, successful but not too successful, assertive but not too much. Being “likable” proves to be a limiting label. Alicia and Amy Elisa cover how obsessing about being likable can affect your prospects of promotion, salary negotiations, and even everyday manager-employee dynamics.
