Apparently, they removed all affinity groups from the website. I'm wondering if emails went out explaining this?

GT scrubbed its entire website of DEI. The prior pages are either broken links or go to their new “engagement, culture, and opportunity” page. All that after they use their start up story to acquire diverse talent. I guess diversity only matters when white guys can’t get hired at big firms.

Is there someone I can pay to do it? Should I just pay the $375 to stay active to avoid this nightmare?

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm.

What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?
