Has remote work helped with diversity, gender, and age discrimination in hiring?

Our company has begun hiring folks from across the US, rather than targeting a few states. At the same time some of us pushed DEI efforts to force the higher ups to recognise growing problems. I’ve seen more BIPOC talent, but that’s not enough.

Hiring is just bringing in more diverse talent, right? But leadership continues bad practices demeaning or simply neglecting this talent, then those hires won’t stay long. That’s the challenge we’re experiencing. Our latest pool of associates is more diverse, but we lost a majority of our BIPOC employees over the last 6 months.

Any smart organization should be looking at this past year as an opportunity to expand their talent pool across a much broader range, both from a geographic and diversity standpoint.

Unfortunately, hiring managers apparently didn’t get the memo and are still falling back on their lazy, old, outdated practices from what I’ve seen.

I think about this a lot. I don’t see it making a difference as much as I see making parent companies practice affirmative action across more diverse criteria aka age, sex, race, religion etc... In principle I’m in favor of hiring purely based on talent and skills but it’s apparent prejudice and privilege plays a huge role. Hiring within family and friends should also be evaluated more.

Considering a jump from FTE back to consulting. I have roughly 8 IT YOE, CSPO, CSM, and my MBA. I'm considering a Sr Product Owner role with the mind set of moving to Product Management within the next 1-2 years. With that background and currently being in a candidate's market, roughly what should I target as my salary?

Right now, I'm at 100k with 5% bonus as a BA.

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.
