Gender differences in career trajectories and representation in top- tier positions persist today, despite broader progress toward achieving equality in society. A robust body of evidence points to a combination of supply-side (i.e., differences in preferences) and demand-side (i.e., biases and unfair barriers) processes perpetuating gender gaps in career advancement. To develop a comprehensive understanding of these processes, it is crucial to take a multi-level perspective and consider the interplay between men and women and their firms, networks, and occupational contexts. This symposium contributes to this growing area of work by bringing together quantitative and qualitative work that builds and tests theory for how gendered organizational, occupational, and network contexts impact various aspects of men’s and women’s performance, experiences, and choices in the workplace.
