How about you?

Hi,
I'm currently working as Manager for Marketing and Communications in a financial inclusion based fintech. I have a total of 2.5 years experience and 1.5 years in Marketing, mostly Digital and Social Media. I hold an MBA from IIFM 2018-2020 ( Indian Institute of Forest Management). Any leads for relevant openings will be much appreciated. Cheers!

Kind of a quick rant. I did a quick search through some firms websites because I am thinking of switching jobs. It is definitely clear most firms still do not embrace diversity. I know diverse applicants must be just as qualified! So what is keeping attorneys of color out?? It’s so discouraging.

Was at an event recently. Seems like advertising really only cares about diversity as it applies to white women. I think this industry wants to stay white.

What do you think:

Teachers should/should not discuss their opinions and ideas around sexuality, gender, and religion with students.

Is anyone wondering what life will really be like for all the new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion executives that many companies are hiring and bragging about now? I wonder how much power they will actually have to effect change. I wonder how long the trend will last.

Latinx - help! We used this term in our diversity spotlight discussing Hispanic Heritage Month. One individual said that in English a group of Latinos would just be Latins to be gender neutral. I understand the word is controversial but is “Latins” grammatically correct? I assume we should just say Latin Americans, but trying to understand if Latins is also accurate.

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

Is it just me or does it seem like teams with high diversity function the best and have the most creative work? Whenever I've worked with ie POC and fellow gay people, the work has always been stellar

Gay man who works in a large org that is big on diversity and inclusion efforts. I’d say about 50-60% of people (at all levels, across all age groups and races) list their gender pronouns in email signature. I list mine because I see it as a way to show support for colleagues who may not be cisgender. If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)

Curious what people's age ranges for dating are. There's the classic "half your age plus seven" rule, but wondering if that's actually followed.

Please comment below with your age, gender, and range.

My company (biotech start up >50 employees) are looking to collect diversity data about current employees to provide to candidates when they ask about the company as well as to investors. Any thoughts on whether this is industry standard? What roadblocks to be aware of? Advice on how to go about this as meaningfully as possible?

Hi All,

Can some1 tell me which company is better wells fargo or Natwest in terms of wlb, year on year appraisal, work culture and diversity candidate?

Thank You in advance

Hi everyone! I’d love to hear your thoughts on EEO surveys during the job application process. Is it more beneficial to self-disclose or refrain from disclosing race, gender, disability, etc?

Which method is more likely to get your application noticed? Any guidance would be helpful on my job hunt. Thank you.

General question: Is there any room in corporate America for real, actionable DE&I discussions and initiatives? I've observed so many corporate versions become an advertising strategy (SM posts, diversity reports) without doing the actual work (increasing representation in senior leadership, salary analyses, having an effective reporting system for bias). Is this just how it is?

Would it be wild if I added my preferred gender pronouns to my signature? (He/his)

Anyone from digital business services team?

I know this bowl has been a little inactive, but I wanna just share this.

I'm just hoping to communicate with others in this industry. Im 21 and struggling to show whether its worth it to take some certs or keep trucking on with the experiences as an IT contractor.

Everyday, day in and day out I hear that Im the the first "lady" in this and the first Latin(e) in that, and I feel alone, professionally, and need guidance.

At some point in our careers, we've been affected by imposter syndrome, even if you want to call it something else. Would love to hear how you dealt with it... What helped you "feel" more confident in your abilities?

I will be doing a live session to talk about the issues affecting women in tech. If you have a topic you want to hear, let me know.

I wonder what has worked for you when interrupted during meetings?

Wishing those who celebrate a happy #pride month. Be well!

My goal is to create s safe space for the "LatinX Community in Tech" to share our experiences and connect with each other. I've worked in Tech for over 20 years and my goal is to share my wisdom with my peers to help the next generation thrive. Welcome!

Hey Gente, Im applying for jobs and I wanted to get others opinion on the race part of the application process. As an indigenous LatinX I worry that if I put indigenous it won’t tick the “diversity” box for the algorithm or recruiters. I work with (not in) the I&D dept at my company and our target recruiting groups don’t include or mention indigenous. Any recruiters here that have insight?
