We are here. I'm near LAX and I see plenty of black folks daily.

Good observation. The composition of blacks in Los Angeles is very small compared to most large cities. We are mainly a Hispanic city.

At my firm (or at least the office I’m in), all of the JV and entity docs associated with a RE deal are handled by lawyers from our corporate group. The RE lawyers mostly just stick to the dirt work. I don’t love it and I’m beginning to question how “normal” this division of labor is. How does your firm handle it?

Going to Tahoe to ski in Feb. I have the option of a 1.5 layover in PHX or 3.5 hours in AUS.

Is 1.5 hours enough in PHX for bags to transfer? I really don’t want my ski equipment to miss the transfer but 3.5 hours seems overkill. My layovers will both be around 5pm local time if that matters.

Sitting here drinking a white claw when I see my cat Bootsy watching me *very* intently. Reminded me of the end of last school year when I noticed a student discreetly recording me while I was eating my lunch. I saw her sitting there in her seat with the face of her phone angled in such a way that it appeared that the camera lens was aimed at me. "Are you recording me?" She put her phone down and murmured an affirmative. So sketchy. Have you ever had a student recording you discreetly?

I currently work in SaaS software implementation and really want to break into product management. I am finding it hard to get interviews. I feel that I have a ton of transferable skills - agile delivery, customer insights, working with ui/ux, engineering, marketing, business, IT to get something shipped and more. Anyone willing to help me out? Review my resume?

Been feeling pushed out as a new (read white) person has taken lead of my accounts. The entire team is shifting but I seem to have been targeted specifically as all of my responsibilities have been taken from me and unevenly spread out to other people, in a haphazard way. It's probably time to go isn't it?

Whenever I got promoted to digital ACD a few years ago, I noticed my pay was much lower than I expected for the market I’m in, hard to find skillsets, performance, and visibility I’ve brought to the agency. I’ve brought this up a few times and was told HR would do research into salary equity, but the convo always fades. I put my foot down with my GCD, and she supports me, but I would like to come to the table with my own research. Where should I be looking for accuracy?
