“Shikha Jain, a practicing hematologist and oncologist, said that when she was interviewing for jobs earlier in her career, a male interviewer asked her if she was married. When she replied that she was, she said, he followed up with, “Does your husband work?”
“I said, ‘Yes, he’s a physician,’ and his response was, ‘Well then, it doesn’t really matter how much money you make, because you have a husband who is bringing home money as well,’” said Jain, who is also an assistant professor of medicine in the division of hematology and oncology at the University of Illinois Cancer Center in Chicago.”
