Are there any consulting firms that treat Black women fairly? I’m not having a great experience right now and need options 🥺

I agree with this and also would add know when it's time to leave/make a move. Some people will never see your value, but you don't need everyone. Figure out what your goal is. Maybe it's as simple as finding a few allies as Mck suggests, maybe it's a team with great culture, or moving toa new office for more community, maybe you just want a promotion. OP, figure out what you want/what would make the situation better. We can't change other people, we only have control of ourselves and our choices.

It can be tough out there, and black women, sometimes get the shortest end of the stick. Hang on in there, you’ll find someplace or team that’ll appreciate you.

Currently in the DC area and it just feels like my work isn’t appreciated. I overperformed my first year at the firm and got burned for reviews/bonuses. The clients recognize how much I do and express appreciation in meetings, but my lead/manager disregards my accomplishments

Come to EY!

Maybe what EY noted (I will be joining EY soon). sadly, I feel like consulting isn’t for Black/POC in general, but I am trying to make it better… but my ass stay getting in trouble for calling out poor leadership; I am not reward trust that lol ! Also, 75% if my mentors are AA women, which I always acknowledge they have it way harder then myself. Sadly, the ones that make it to senior leadership roles, tend to make it harder on other AA/POC women, which bothers me. I use to work at CGI too. Feel free to DM I am happy to support and connect you in anyway.

There probably aren’t many unfortunately, but are you able to talk about this with any black women at your company?

They will most likely have the most practical advice and understand you best. It would probably be something you can actually use to improve your situation.

So about quiet quitting, at another job I was in I felt I was getting more and more tacked onto my job and picking up the slack of everyone else. I told my boss that I was doing work that was in someone else’s job description and it would be nice if they could help me out by doing their job. He told me, “But you’re so much better at it.” Looking back, I think the whole team was quiet quitting and he was resting on me and so I real quit. What are ya’lls thoughts? Have you ever done it?

Hello Fish,

I have finally had it with all my job application rejections and am strategizing to get more experience. My only work experience has been working at a hospital admitting patients and I think it would be a good idea to volunteer to design websites for anyone needing it. Do you know of any organizations or companies in need of volunteers? I know CSS, HTML, JavaScript, WordPress, Adobe Premiere/Photoshop and am willing to learn any technology for an opportunity to help out.
