FTI 🐠 - I know the firm has focused on diversity with regards to gender and people of color. How do you feel about FTI’s diversity with regard to sexual orientation? I’ve never felt comfortable being “out” at my current firm and that is very important to me for my next step. I’m hesitant to bring this up directly because consulting is a small world and only 2 people know at my current firm.

When I started out 10 years ago when I was in industry (banking), I was paranoid that my colleagues would find out... I loved my job and team but I knew I wasn’t hitting my full potential. I moved to KPMG and was myself from day 1 - not having to avoid using pronouns, talking honestly with colleagues about who I am etc... it was incredibly liberating. Sometimes it takes a move to “reinvent” yourself (looking back - all my banking friends knew anyway...and we’re still friends) - in the professional world no one should really care and if they do, then there’s plenty of other mentors and colleagues to align with

I’ve always been the only gay person in the room. And I’ve been really comfortable about it since I first started. Partly because I believe the system is here to protect us, and if they have a problem then it’s their issue to deal with not mine.

Your supporter: I say come out and see. Good people will always be in your corner so come out and enjoy being you. Cheers ❀

You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes?
