Do any of y’all take your picture down from internal sites/ LinkedIn bc you feel it would be easier to network if people didn’t know your race?

Nope. If people don’t want to network with me because I’m Black, I’m happy to let them exclude themselves. Less work for me.

Why would a sensible and confident person ever feel that way? No, I put a pic wherever required (bio, proposal, intranet etc). I am me and bring my whole self wherever I go.

No. I just made sure my silk press held and the lighting was right, so I could pass for "two or more races."

I'm black from the first time you meet me to the last time you see me, so taking my picture down isn't going to help me network in person and then the relationship isn't real and at that point is it even worth it?

My personal theory on this is if you have to hide your race to get a role, you probably don’t want that job and would be unhappy there.

This doesn’t make sense to me. I would never want to network with someone who doesn’t have a linkedin picture. It’s weird for one and comes off extremely tacky like you don’t have the decency/sense to just get a headshot. It’s hard not to assume the worst when someone has no picture, because why would a grown ass person not have one?

I have two personas on LinkedIn- one is “me”, the other is a racially ambiguous person named “Judy”. Guess who gets more connection requests? Guess who’s LinkedIn articles get more reads.

I don’t put up my pictures on websites (unless required). I enjoy being anonymous online.

Yup, I’m quite paranoid of the detrimental capabilities of technology........because I help design and build them.

On the ones (only 1 for now) where my picture exists, I haven’t had someone not respond to me because of what they see. That’s my experience.

Nope

Hi Fishes! Does any one have idea about Track Transfer to Data Science Teams, as an Associate. Also, how’s the process and how can we apply for the same? It’ll be really helpful if you can help.

Is it not best practice to connect with the hiring manager on LinkedIn or send them a dm prior to securing the next round interview? Curious to hear what is the best way to show interest in the role and stand out without spamming or being off putting.

So in my team meeting a white male told me “I need to get that work done boy!” For a second I thought to myself is this a joke! I barely know this man...struggling on how to handle this situation....

I noticed the disrespect in the corporate environment towards blacks is often very nuanced and difficult to point out effectively. What’s your experience?
