If it was EY, it would say “strategy consultant (pancakes need not apply)”

These kind of postings used to be “Strategy Consultant (m/w/d)”... clarifying for legal purposes that the position was open for male, female and non-binary applicants ... the root cause: with many vocational nouns being male, German is a crappy language to signal diversity and inclusion 😁

This is common for postings in the EU, not just Accenture.

What’s the reason for this?

There are a number of countries where this applies to the postings regardless of company.

Is that Germany, Ohio??

I read a quote in a posting here: "The only race is the human race." I hate that quote. IMHO, this quote ignores the importance of understanding difference, diversity, and anti-racism. How can we give up white priv if all we are willing to do is pretend that race doesn't exist?

Hey fellow fishies! There have been some questions lately about men lurking in this bowl. I’ve reached out to Fishbowl and a rep reassured me that only users who identify as women are allowed access to this bowl. If any men have misrepresented their gender in order to gain access, please flag the user and/or reach out to a bowl leader or Fishbowl support asap! Definitely want to make sure this space remains safe and private so we can continue to share freely 🙏

Hey Gente, Im applying for jobs and I wanted to get others opinion on the race part of the application process. As an indigenous LatinX I worry that if I put indigenous it won’t tick the “diversity” box for the algorithm or recruiters. I work with (not in) the I&D dept at my company and our target recruiting groups don’t include or mention indigenous. Any recruiters here that have insight?

So I recently started a position with Fox. When it was presented to me in interview, I was told I would be working aligned with Fox Sports & Entertainment, not so much News. Now that I’m here, I’m seeing everything I’ll be doing is with the News team & makes me uncomfortable. No diversity, outdated software & process.
Financially, it’s the best position I been in. But mentally in this environment, it’s depressing & slow. Nothing innovative or engaging. What would you do?

Seeing how a huge number of start-ups get funding nowadays (money is very cheap), would you agree it is easier to get rich by being an entrepreneur or sticking to the consulting grind at say $100k-$250k/year? I know there isn’t a definitive answer here, but curious to hear what other people think.
