Picking right man key career choice for women: Facebook official

Kolkata, October 10 : It’s not the first job or right college. The most important career choice that women will make is in selecting the right partner, Facebook India maging director Kirthiga Reddy asserted on Saturday. “The most important decision that you will make is not your first job or the college you go to, it’s the partner that you will choose. So make sure that you choose right,” Reddy said at a panel discussion here during the launch of the book “30 Women in Power, their Voices, their Stories”. Reddy, the first Indian employee of Facebook, stressed the importance of women communicating to their potential partners, their roles and career choices they plan to opt after marriage. “Support systems, be it family, husband or friends, give women the advantage. And technology makes one have flexible working hours. Whether you work from home or your office, it’s the output that matters,” she said. In 2011, Reddy became one of Fortune India’s top 50 most powerful women in the country. Reiterating that “husbands are the most important career decision you will make”, Debjani Ghosh, Intel India’s South Asia vice president for sales and marketing, said not enough young Indian women were communicating their aspirations to their potential partners.
