Elon Musk stating that standards are lowered for minorities and women.

I have never seen a minority that is unqualified skip two salary grades and get hired. That is a luxury that minorities especially don’t have.

I hope this nonsense will have metrics pulled. Wouldn’t even need to go further than LinkedIn.

I have. I was told I was passed up for a promotion because there was a Hispanic female and they thought it would look really good to have her as a manager to “show you can do anything if you work hard”. Turns out she frauded the company and upper management apologized to ME for how they handled it

Everyone's experience is different. Having worked supporting client HR groups, I can say that some companies use DEI as a means to differentiate between different resources for positions, and sometimes the lesser experienced resource is given the position in the name of equality. Others don't think that way at all. I'm not going to comment on what is right, as that is facts and circumstances based, but I think we all need to acknowledge that different companies think about diversity differently. Musk isn't totally right or totally wrong on this or any of his other theories. He will say something else tomorrow that will offend someone else which will be tomorrow's news. This too shall pass.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.

Definitely, London isn't 3X cheaper them.
Is it that companies don't want that high here or there isn't enough competition or something else?
