Business Blogs By Women

Fast Company has a listing of its favorite business blogs by women. Probably worth checking out. Of those on the list, I happened to meet Heather Hamilton in cyberspace while visiting her blog. As I recall mentioning to Heather, her blog was one of the few blogs I could find on the Net that covered anything regarding management consulting (Heather had a post on hiring past management consultants for corporate jobs at Microsoft). Now management consulting is not the most exciting of professions so it’s great that she gives the profession some respect. To digress a bit, I think in the late 90s there may have been a sitcom on management consulting (something like LA Consulting [?]). Even my past management consultant friends no longer remember what the long since defunct show was named … sigh.

Note: Although the Fast Company listing only references marketing, I think Heather’s blog covers both marketing and finance positions at Microsoft. Worthwhile clarification to make. For one thing, many Chicago b-school grads go to work at Microsoft in positions ranging from product management, product marketing, to controller functions. Don’t discriminate against finance!
