Abstract: Modern societies strive for greater gender equality and inclusivity, so it is crucial to study the impact of gender on career guidance in order to develop more effective interventions and support systems. Recognizing the uniqueness of the problem and experience faced by people of different genders can increase the effectiveness and relevance of career guidance activities. By studying various aspects of career growth through a gender lens, science contributes to a better understanding of how gender shapes career choices, experiences, and counseling needs of individuals. The article examines the features of professional choice and career building from the perspective of gender theories. It is concluded  that they help to explain the formation and strengthening of gender stereotypes, the impact of discrimination on psychological well–being, choice of profession and career trajectory, as well as the interaction of gender with other social identities.
