I got a few reach outs and it was from folks who had harmed me with their racist behavior quite frankly. I didn’t respond.

Wow. I’m sorry.

Yes. One was from someoneI hadn’t talked to in over a year. I contemplated not responding but I finally decided that they if they were considerate enough to reach out I could be considerate enough to respond.

Same. Hesitated at first cause I've been pretty overwhelmed with all this. But it was in good spirits and I have been bottling up so probably didn't hurt to open up a bit

Yes. It was because of two and emails written by black folks that went internally viral that shamed White folks into saying something.

Ah gotcha. So the stock outreach emails came from the originals?

Nope. Kind of wish I did.

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?
