There are barely any asians in the whole firm, let alone managers and up. I only know of 1 manager

Who are Asians? You mean East Asians, SE Asians, desi people? Middle East? Or some/all of the above?

What is considered consulting? Strategy, tech, etc.? Everyone is calling themselves a consultant these days.

How do you define “minorities”? Proportion compared to their composition within the wider population, or proportion compared to other races/ethnicity within the industry?

Which market are you talking about? North America, europe, or AP?

Anyway, for MBB in NA and ANZ, I notice that there are a good proportion of East Asians/SEA and Indian etc. at the bottom of the pyramid. However, only desi people are doing relatively well in leadership positions in terms of representation.

At associate Partner / Partner level at MBB, Asians are absolutely a minority and we are not closing the gap

Agree

Managers up? Nope!

In all fairness when a white dude says he finds Asian girls hot, the picture in his head is not--a majority of times--a brown girl with a bindi

Minority? Yes. No question there. Underrepresented minority? Also probably yes, but it depends on the exact firm.

I see a lot of Indians at my firm spread pretty evenly throughout the pyramid. East Asians/SEA nope, have a feeling the only way we get anywhere is for us to start our own companies.

Asians are pretty well represented as CEO’s at Kearney. 🤷🏻‍♂️

does Kearney also have more East Asian partners and other senior management than other firms? anyone have any insight?

What are your thoughts about having to take an iq/personality assessment tests? It seems so outdated to me. I don’t think it predicts how you will truly perform at a job. I took a test like this for a startup once and they were concerned about my ability to speak up or behave in social settings. This was completely false. I present, interview clients, demo products, and facilitate meetings for a living. So what if I go home and shut down after work? I’m exhausted from speaking all day!
