Female here. Nope and that's because I disagree with Sandberg.

Which parts? Have you read the book? I def do disagree too, but I am wondering about the concept of LeanIn circles in consulting firms and under what circumstances they are a good idea. I was so surprised that the people spearheading the initiative within the firm hadn't even read the book!

I started one a while back and it was great. We met monthly and spent about half the time following the prescribed "program" from her site and half the time just catching up and gossiping. Then, one by one they all got married/pregnant and left the firm for industry/boutique practices with limited travel...needless to say I haven't started another one since.

Some suggestions on LeanIn are good. Unless the entire system changes, it will be difficult for women to keep leaning in

Seeking advice. My company was acquired and the new CEO (white, cis gender) is a fragile misogynist. He's an old-school marketer and it's like having your dad in a meeting explaining (continued..)

So I'm a single dad, which I feel can be tough sometimes - doesn't fit with gender norms. It's the professional equivalent of not having baby changing stations in the mens room.

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?

Best and worst experience relating to diversity? For me. Best: winning an agency competition for a diversity related thought piece. Worst: reporting a sociopath creep and nothing being done about it.

Any consultant here who has worked at Citadel or knows someone who is working at Citadel? A recruiter from there reached out to me today, and I got the sense that the culture there is more intense compared to consulting. How would you compare Citadel vs MBB on the below points:

a) Culture
b) Diversity (I am an international student and a person of color, and my sense is that Citadel is not as international)
c) Comp trajectory

Thanks!

So I recently started a position with Fox. When it was presented to me in interview, I was told I would be working aligned with Fox Sports & Entertainment, not so much News. Now that I’m here, I’m seeing everything I’ll be doing is with the News team & makes me uncomfortable. No diversity, outdated software & process.
Financially, it’s the best position I been in. But mentally in this environment, it’s depressing & slow. Nothing innovative or engaging. What would you do?
