What's The On-Ramp?

Welcome to the On-Ramp, Double X's guide to navigating work and life. We're going to pack it full of useful data and tips, including a daily crib sheet of everything you need to pay attention to in the financial news, first-person accounts from ordinary people weathering the economic downturn, and interviews with successful women who've made it to the top in a wide range of careers. The name, in case you're wondering, comes from a 2005 book called On-Ramps and Off-Ramps: Keeping Talented Women on the Road to Success. That's exactly what we hope this blog will help to do.

 

We want to hear from you, too, about how you're juggling it all, or dealing with a layoff, or searching for a job in this economy. Write to us--and talk to each other--in the comments, or send us suggestions for other features you'd like to see in the On-Ramp at doublex.slate+onramp@gmail.com.
