I think the biggest challenge is that the Asian group will always be prioritized less than other groups. I went to an Asian leadership summit and priorities in the workplace are Women, African American, LGBTQ+, Military/Military Spouse, and then we are tied 5th with the Latinx group. Some leadership groups are now tracking different diversity groups in their workforce on a monthly/quarterly/annual basis. Many call out a “women” and “black” group to track percentages and then have a general bucket for “minority.” It would be hugely beneficial to make sure they pull out an Asian group so we don’t get shuffled into the minority group and just further fall behind the other groups.

Agreed!

Tried to start one with a friend (midwest offices). We were told that we need to demonstrate a “business need” for this group before it could become an official org within ZS. Also show clearly that there are existing ppl interested and already gathering and hosting events within ZS offices on our own dime. It’s almost like chartering a new fraternity. Gave up when covid hit.

Asians are definitely not a minority at ZS but good on you for pursuing this anyway, don’t think it could hurt. I just think it would be taken a lot less seriously unfortunately, by potential members and leadership

Hi! McKinsey has a strong Asian affinity group. I’m on the leadership team though didn’t start it. Feel free to DM me and I can connect you.

So I’m an undergrad starting as an associate in consulting at PwC without a business background, I have really strong clinical knowledge and have been hired for healthcare consulting but I honestly don’t know the basics of accounting/finance/data analytics. I feel way over my head, any tips on how to give myself working knowledge or books I could read would be GREATLY appreciated!

I’m struggling on how to effectively coach a designer on my team who is a low performer. I’ve been working with them for two years.. but have not seen the growth needed to succeed in this industry. They’re slow, lack creative innovation, and have a hard time designing strategically (designs don’t make sense even from a functionality standpoint).

I’ve tried everything I can think of.. but at this point, account teams would rather request working with interns over this person.

Any advice?

Hi! I just got converted to full time as a intern, and received this email about 401k which I don’t quite understand. Does the 3% means the match that company gives to me for free? So I don’t have to contribute anything to my 401k while getting free 3% match money? Thank you!!

Interviewing with a company I’m excited about and they requested to have the next level (I believe final level) be pushed to the second week of January since they’re team is overwhelmed. I agreed and suggested times and am waiting to hear back. Meanwhile I had another company reach out this past week for a role I’m less excited over. They’ve already reached out for my final interview round this week. I already disclosed that I’m waiting to hear from a company I’ve been interviewing with. Cont’d.

Is there a disparity between the SWE TC AND NETWORK ENGINEER TC? I see that SWEs with 2YOE in Google get TC ~45L INR.
