Wall Street has not traditionally been a woman’s world.

At the senior level, women make up only 20% to 35% of executives on the Street.

But there are women who have made it, and they can serve as valuable resources for others hoping to build careers in finance.

Morgan Stanley spoke to a handful of its senior women and published their best pieces of advice in a recent blog post.

Here’s what some of those women had to say.

You don’t always have to say ‘yes’ — not even to opportunities offered to you.

“Don’t miss out on potentially fantastic roles or jobs by thinking that you need to follow a particular career path. But don’t say ‘yes’ to every opportunity that’s offered to you either. Make sure you have someone you trust, who can help you think through opportunities as they come up.”

Celeste Mellet Brown — Managing Director, Corporate Treasurer

Stop apologizing.

“When I first started my career, I used to be apprehensive about voicing my opinions, so I’d often apologize for giving them. My boss told me I should never apologize for being myself, and that advice has been transformative.”

Katy Zhao — Vice President, Investment Products & Services, Wealth Management

There are 3 things you’re going to need.

“First, you need to have a dream; second an idea of what your goal is and third, passion. Obviously having the skill set and working hard are important, but if you don’t have a dream and a goal, then don’t be surprised when you don’t get there. And if you don’t fill your dream with passion, then you can become disheartened about your career choice during the tough times. And there are always tough times in a cyclical business like finance.”

Wei Sun Christianson — CEO Morgan Stanley China, Co-CEO Morgan Stanley Asia Pacific

Sheryl Sandberg: There is no straight path to where you are going.

“As Pattie Sellers of Fortune Magazine says, careers are not ladders but jungle gyms,” the Facebook COO wrote on Quora. “You don’t have to have it all figured out.”

Sandberg recommends having a long-term, abstract dream to work toward in addition to a more concrete 18-month plan. The long-term plan allows you to dream big while the short-term plan forces you to push yourself and think about how you want to get better over the next year and a half.

“Ask yourself how you can improve and what you’re afraid to do,” she said, adding “that’s usually the thing you should try.”

Warren Buffett: Exercise humility and restraint.

In a 2010 interview with Yahoo, the Berkshire Hathaway CEO said that the best advice he ever received was from Thomas Murphy, a Berkshire Hathaway board of directors member. He told Buffett:

Never forget, Warren, you can tell a guy to go to hell tomorrow — you don’t give up the right. So just keep your mouth shut today, and see if you feel the same way tomorrow.

During this year’s Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders meeting, Buffett also told a curious seventh-grader that the key to making friends and getting along with coworkers is learning to change your behavior as you mature by emulating those you admire and adopting the qualities they possess.

Richard Branson: Never look back in regret — move on to the next thing.

Branson’s mother taught him this.

“The amount of time people waste dwelling on failures, rather than putting that energy into another project, always amazes me,” the billionaire Virgin Group founder and chairman told Good Entrepreneur. “I have fun running ALL the Virgin businesses — so a setback is never a bad experience, just a learning curve.”
