Does your agency have a international ghetto? A hive of employees, usually not of color, from Scandinavia, Australia, Brazil etc who are paid less than market can’t leave due to visas codes?

Writing own recommendation letters suck big time. How much can I appreciate myself without raising any eyebrows?
Did your recommender also asked for a draft to work with??
Please advice 🥺

Has anyone paid for premium processing for their I-140 out of pocket? EY filed my I-140 in June 2021 and is working on my I-485 now. I asked if I can pay for premium processing since the Texas processing center takes 11-13.5 months but I am not sure it will be worth it if the I-485 takes a long time. Thanks!

Is is reasonable to find a large 2BR (e.g., 900 sqft) for under $3000/month? Flexible with location, looking at back bay, fenway, south end, beacon hill, etc

This rally going on in last two weeks.

Is it start of a new bull run and new highs coming.

Or just a pullback rally and again new lows will come.

Let's share your views

Anyone else feeling like they are past their prime and just don’t matter anymore? Like I could vanish and it may take weeks before anyone realized I was missing (and yes, I realize hormones are making this happen),

Can’t decide on a job offer. Currently employed and have been wanting to do something different. The other job offer is pretty much what I make now but I’d be losing on a lot of PTO. I kind of feel really confused about what to do. The hiring manager actually picked up on the fact that I don’t sound super excited for the job. But I feel like this is my chance to leave and do something different but I’m hung up on barely any PTO and swapping to a complete different industry.

Internal Referrals...

Is it true that an Amazon employee can't refer you if you've applied directly within the past two years?

Is there a way around this?

Solo traveling & working in Bay Area for next 2 weeks. Need suggestions on what I can do without getting bored especially on weekends and evenings. TIA.

I still think Biden is going to win this. Just not by the landslide we hoped for.

What other software or ideas would you ask for?

Does anyone know if there any platforms like this group where POC in the industry share creative projects? I recently just wrapped up a non-advertising project and wanted to get it out there!

Anyone else hearing from multiple WOC who had their Times Up RSVPs cancelled after the fact?

Got some freelance clients looking for more work and bigger projects. Anyone have any insight/advice/experience starting a small agency?

Good people—Checking in. First day of homeschooling a first grader and WFH. Deep breaths and trying to maintain perspective. Sending you and yours nothing but positive thoughts. ♥️ ✨

Just found out someone reporting in to me has a higher salary. Has this happened to anyone else?

So if you work your butt off and you weren’t nominated for the “working-your-
but-off” award, does it mean it didn’t happen?

A longgggg time ago someone said they wanted to do a photoshoot of everyone in this group, what happened to that?

Where are all the good POC in social strategy? I’ve got teams to build in NYC & Chicago and no luck with solid candidates.

Preparing to talk to my manager about a promotion (PMM to Senior PMM). How much of a salary increase would you suggest asking for? I’m in Toronto, base is $112.5k at the moment with 8 YOE (total), 2 at current company.

Anyone else tired of having to work so hard to get where you are, only to realize you will be the first one laid off because you aren’t in the “sorority.” Watching it happen is filling me with anxiety

Any black creative teams on here, CWs and ADs? Curious to know how it’s working out for you. Been in the game for a while now and I’ve never seen a minority creative team. It’s always white teams.

It's funny that for clients making something "hispanic" means putting an abuela on it.

Ok, i get it, you've seen Coco...
