Partner Interview (6th interview).
Good or Bad?
My referral had interviews w/ (1)
recruiter, (1) SM, then the series of
(3) 1:1's w/(1) MD and (2) SM's.
The recruiter said he will now have
an interview in Jan. w/ the PPMD.
He interviewed for a M role in
consulting for customer marketing.
11 YOFE
He does have a wide skill set and the
recruiter said it was all positive
feedback, just have to find out
where to put him (on the team he
interviewed for or another he is
qualified for).Deloitte

Interesting. I never thought of that, how/if copywriters are hired specifically for one language and a translation would expand beyond that.

If my job description does not include translation responsibilities I refuse to do it without compensation. I think of it as the same thing as a copy writer being asked to build a website. That’s scope creep and the more it’s allowed the worse it gets.
I hate being asked to do translation work. I don’t mind volunteering for it if I have bandwidth, and if I see it can help a team or initiative in a pinch.
It needs to be informally and not for wide consumption, though. I’ve been assigned translation duties by higher-ups who have mistaken my ethnicity for proof that I can function as well as a professional translator with decades of experience under their belt, and it’s always awkward to have to decline and explain that I can wing a translation here or there if needed, but I’m not Shakespeare and I make human mistakes.

That’s a whole other part of the issue right there. It’s another form of discrimination at work in my opinion. Because if you CANT do it, then they look at you in a negative fashion. It’s yet another thing that people of color at work that most white people do not.
I am multilingual but I am not generally asked to do translation work. That might be because I work at an agency and everything needs to be scoped and paid for, so there's less incentive for the agency to make me do a whole workstreams for free for clients. I think the way you're doing it is right. Translation is a skill. It'd be like asking a copywriter to do graphic design.

Boom. That’s it. Right there. Completely agree.
