Anyone is Salt Lake City? 😬

How did you get buyers to look realistically? For example, if they have a low budget, but a lengthy checklist where they might not get everything for their price range.

KFC awards creative business to MullenLowe after FOUR ROUNDS OF PITCHES. That’s right. Not only did they ask agencies to pitch over the holidays, they made them come back… not twice, not 3 times. But 4. Times. Arnold? FCB? Fig?

Godspeed to the creative team on this business. KFC is the reason this industry is shrinking and creatives are fleeing in droves.

Wieden saw this coming from (many) miles away. Good on them.

There are good clients and great brands out there….just not this one sadly.

Hi! I wanted to apply for the Head of Concept Development position at remarkable (the paper tablet company) in Norway. I never did, but I kept thinking about what the salary might have been for this case.

Did the post about "straight Asian men" get deleted? Left the room to make popcorn and returned to find it gone.

Does any other attorney POC feel like they have to live double lives? I’m guilty of trying to “blend in” with my white team members. I wish I could be myself (at least to an extent) and not fake it.

I’m an aspiring court reporter. Kind of weird to ask here, I know, but is there any place I can go to link with other black reporters? I’ve tried looking on ig and fb but there’s nothing exclusive for people of color. I even created a bowl here and shnada so far. Also, is it common for you to use the same reporter for different jobs? I’m wondering if I could work freelance and maybe have contracts with a few solid attorneys. So many horror stories around Court Reporting firms. TIA for reading!

How's everyone doing? I was on social media today and reading about the Adam Toledo video and it took me back to last June, which on top of the pain from seeing this racist system continue to win out, June was my lowest billing month and hurt my confidence about hitting hours compared to my white peers.

How are other people dealing with 1) trauma of another racist murder by cops and 2) impact on work? I am not black, so my pain does not compare but I can't act like things are fine either...

Can y’all define “ big law”? I do residential transactional closings for residential buy/sell, leases and business transactions. How do I get into “big law” with my related experience?

I know as attorneys of color, we often find ourselves being in a room with dozens of attorneys and still were the only attorney of color (I’m a brown woman, very often the only brown person AND only woman in the room). I’m starting to attend more client meetings and depositions, trials, etc. and I’m noticing it more and it’s starting to distract me bc I start overthinking it in the moment. How do y’all deal with that?

What area do you specialize in as an attorney and why did you choose it?

I feel like I'm going through really bad imposter syndrome, How do you manage it ?

I saw that Orrick had an Attorney's of Color retreat in New York. Does anyone work there who can speak on how it was? If not, is there a retreat/coalition/group for Attorney's of Color at your firm?

Anyone know any POC resume writers?

I currently do insurance defense but have been wanting to do more meaningful work, especially for the cause of helping other minorities. I have an offer from an employment discrimination firm that I’m considering taking. Anyone here do employment discrimination? If so, are you fulfilled by your work?

I'm frustrated and don't know where to go with this.

I was recently in consideration for a promotion but got passed over. I was told , in confidence, that I viewed as less serious about the role because I teleworked while colleagues were getting back to the office. That was viewed by senior leaders as being less serious about the job.

I mean, I have a job but I feel I will never advance if I use the benefits offered. Is this the same everywhere? Do teleworking lawyers ever get promoted?

Did trivia today for a summer associate event. One of the questions was what month MLK day is in and everyone on my team said Feb instead of Jan. I definitely judged them lol 🥴.

Any black solos here that concentrate in commercial real estate? Or who had a commercial real estate background but went solo in a different practice area? I’m considering this move and would welcome your insight.

Slightly embarrassing, but in the past 2 years at my firm I have actually gone by a shortened version of my first name as many people outside my ethnic background have difficulty pronouncing it in full.

I’d now like to go by my full name - any tips on easing it into email signatures / conversation?
