FWIW, I think in the advertising world there should be a greater effort to have a diverse staff FT vs. hiring contractors strictly for the purpose of making potential clients and investors happy. 🤷

So, a recruiter gave me feedback that my lack SPHR or SHRM-SCP is causing my resume to be knock out by AI and human recruiters despite my position and work history in Multinationals and being in Technology. They suggested that we put SPHR ( Lapsed). I let it lapse in 2017. What is your opinion? Plus if I were to take another certification - should I take SPHR or SHRM-SCP?

Can partners comment whether Pwc is having another round of layoffs. This is so scary! Shouldn't they rid of partners who can't sell first?! Or pause hiring? Opp. cost to find and train talent again?

With product marketing do you have to be passionate about the product or just know how to do the work? I’m about to have a conversation about a PMM role that I know nothing about the product. Any advise?

Recruiter for big tech company reached out on LinkedIn about a role. I asked about ballpark compensation numbers and they said they’re only comfortable sharing on a live call. Replied that I often receive LinkedIn offers for roles of paycuts around 30-50% so I want to make sure we’re in the same rough range. Recruiter again said she would only share via live call. Is this a red flag?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

Joining JPMC next Monday. When should I buy the laptop, before joining or after? Also, which is the best laptop to buy?

I find myself in workshops and meetings, groups of 15-20 people, and I’m always the only woman. In my entire department, there are no other women. I’m getting to the point where I’m feeling defeated and burnt out. I’ve been working in male-dominated environments my entire career (over 10 years) and I’m losing motivation. Any tips or words of advice to get out of my mental rut?

What small to medium size Post shops are your favorites? Great if in addition to Edit they can do some Gfx (nothing fancy) & finish too, (basic Color). Too many projects with the same vendor & need more variety. NYC/East coast a plus but not a must… Any thoughts?

Is it normal that work life is so stressed? There is no relaxed time, no time to breathe and not a day when 9 to 5 looks normal? This is how agency is or is it something up with my team?

Am I the only person who has been super disgusted to Fishbowl’s response to the Meta layoffs? I’ve been laid off twice in my career but I’m not mad at 11000 people who no longer have jobs just cause they got decent severance while I got a week on my way out. Facebook is hot garbage but I’m pretty sure 0 out of the 11000 were making those decisions. So why are you upset about it? Urgh. Y’all are weird.

Is anyone able to expand on the bonus structure at NetSuite, specifically as an ERP implementation consultant? I heard bonuses are quarterly, but I am curious about the typical percentages or amount.

Do you still have opportunity to negotiate salary when you’re going thru a recruiter and they tell you the range upfront?

Any suggestions for creative recruiters in NYC? Looking for new CD-level opportunities 🤗

Do they provide cab service in Gurgaon or reimburse it?

Just discovered a public slack channel (that very much should have been private) that a few women at my work have been using to bitch about the co-workers they don’t like. There’s a lot of very mean posts about several of the CDs, account people, producers etc. There’s quite a few hateful posts about me and my partner too 🙈 should I tell them?

What UK sources do you look at to understand your market value?

Any tips on making a small wedding feel intimate and special versus tiny and boring?

Hi, Nadia!:) What's your perspective on white fragility? I'm a white immigrant who grew up shielded from racism in a homogeneous society and want to help white people deal with their fragility but...

I notice that your “visual identity” for this workshop represents different sexes and different cultures - but no older people - who are now bearing the brunt of ageism. Why have we been left out?

Does anyone have experience confronting workplace inequality? Any lawyer recommendations? Things to say/not say?

I don’t trust HR and I don’t know what to do.

I am a POC and just recently got pushed out of my new role. They told me I wasn't a good fit and failed to meet job requirements. Struggling to understand whether I was let go bc of my work ethic or

We are a small shop of 10 and are sorely lacking any people of color on our team. How do we recruit interest without coming right out and asking for POC to apply?

Does anyone else feel a lack of trust at work? A lack of trust in your judgement, reasoning, ideas etc...

How do you navigate that, other than proving yourself repeatedly?

Feeling very discouraged.

I’m sad that instead of showing that there are no differences between human beings, we are advocating for races (what I understand it is very necessary). Just afraid that will create more division.

Does anyone talk about economic diversity? You know middle class and economically challenged people who cannot afford art schools and expensive private colleges?

As someone who isn't a PoC I'm always unsure of how I should refer to others correctly. 2nd question:

If referring to the only minority on another team is saying "the Asian/black/etc" guy offensive?

Hi Nadia thank you for doing this workshop my question is: how do you deal with raging systemic bias and not get victimised by your line manager who is also a group head ?

Nadia, your Unconscious Bias training was so incredibly impactful for me and my team!! Brilliant. So stoked to see this crucial conversation on here. So many questions!

As someone who isn't a PoC I'm always unsure of how I should refer to others correctly. First question:

African American vs Black - what is more accepted?

Good people, it’s time to bid y’all farewell. Thank you 🙏🏾 Please keep this conversation going with each other and at your agencies. Will post a recap in a bit. Holler at me for anything at all—nadia@culturecipher.org.✌🏾

Day 1 of Glenn Singleton's Courageous Conversations About Race training today actually rocked my world. So many things I've never talked about or even considered talking about just bubbled up. 😱
