No. I’m too good at my job to be concerned.

I like to think of myself as the “personality hire.”

I know I’m not. I have excelled at all my jobs and have a stellar resume. That being said, I’ve definitely been on the hiring end at places where we picked a POC as a diversity hire and they tended to struggle in the roles. It was uncomfortable seeing people be set up to fail in a sense because their skill set wasn’t aligned with the role.

Nope!

God blessed me and I’m happy 😃

Yup.

Even if I am, I can do the job and do it damn well.

Nope, because they needed someone with my expertise & the other candidates didn’t have it. Especially if you’re in the top two or three of the finalists. Doesn’t sound like a diversity hire.

lol at times! But I’m also confident in what I offer. I think the color was a cherry on top crossing off multiple check boxes. I mean, can’t ignore diversity is most definitely a factor!

Does anyone know if their firm has any inclusion initiatives around hiring individuals with special needs as part of a transition program? For example, when offices are open, having individuals be employed by the firm and help with more administrative tasks such as helping to get conference rooms set up for events, assisting visitors, etc.? My younger brother has special needs so am trying to help my parents look for a few options and was wondering if any of the consulting firms have this!

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?

I got a decent deal on a small 1 bed in a luxury building (hell’s kitc). Should I do a 12 month lease or 24m?

Got the rent negotiated to under 3k + free amenities for a year (gym, pool, etc.). I’m afraid rent will atleast go back to the original price (+5%) and then some. The building has some sort of rent control but that’s predicted to go away in less than 1 year as per the lease. The legal rent limit is way higher.

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.

Is there a definitive guide to cost of living? The obvious cost of living centers (SF, NYC, LA etc.) get covered a lot, but I’m wondering where my city falls. It’s a modest Midwest city with ~100k residents but is a relatively touristy spot. It often feels like a MCOL area but I’m not sure how to adequately judge that, and it would be helpful to know when comparing salaries and the like.

I’ve accepted an offer from a firm. Had to revise my joining date and the HR sent an email confirmation for the revised doj. I received an onboarding portal link from another HR, on their portal it’s mentioned my joining is in January which is even earlier than the joining date I received before on my OL which I got revised later on. The HR isn’t even reachable, they don’t reply to mails or pick calls. Don’t know what to do.
