Hello fishes, Do you have suggestions on Diversity & Inclusion activities that can be done virtually with a group? I found few ideas in google but would love to hear about any experiences and suggestions.

Hi all,
Looking for a career change, I’ve experience in project management, oncology, health promotion, engagement, inclusion and diversity and hoping to work for a pharma. Happy to relocate and would love some guidance and referral please 🙏🏾

As a female thirty-something in the industry, feel like I'm just starting to be aware of pay discrepancy 🙄. Curious to hear from others which of our agencies adhere to standards of gender equal pay?

We are exploring having a third party come in and assess our I&D efforts across our company. We have many locations across North America. Is anyone aware of an entity who does this? We have found questionnaires through target organizations and have done anonymous employee surveys but are hoping to find someone who can do an assessment for gender, minorities, disabilities, 2SLGBTQ+, etc. and provide feedback on the actual employee experience and where we may have blind spots.

Any advice from fellow women in this industry? How did you overcome gender biases?

Question for everyone; what are some of the better job boards for underrepresented groups in tech? Non-traditional job boards that promote inclusivity and diversity hiring?

Do you feel like Latinos are being left out of the discussion or overlooked as more companies commit to anti-racism and inclusion efforts?

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example). I think we all want socioeconomic, gender and racial barriers to opportunities to be addressed, but no significant number of people really believe in equality of outcome right? This is just a straw man argument.

Hi! Welcome! What are your positions in an inclusion classroom? How’s it been going so far this year?

Do you think diversity training actually works? I can't tell if it's just a way to tick a liability box or if it's actually effective.

what’re the agencies in Toronto that are best for diversity / healthy culture of mutual respect for all - women, POC? know nowhere is perfect but any doing okay?

Could anyone tell me about the technology consulting practice of NTT Data in the UK? How are the work culture, WLB, clientele and nature of the projects, bench policy, ethnic diversity in the UK?
TIA.

I am frustrated as a Gay Woman who has given her all for 30+ years grinding to be the best. I have been in closet, out of closet, in-between and am tired of it. I want to be VALUED as a human being. I have gone from Rock Star to problem when people "found out". I have trained and promoted hundreds of people and been passed over for promotions because of not being a man. I have trained men with less experience, worse results only for them to move forward. If Diversity is important...prove it!

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?

I want to know from HR or senior management that do you offer less to female candidate provided she has same skills as a male candidate?
Does in IT industry gender doesn't impact compensation?

Just got an offer at Deloitte. Feel like comp/rank are too low due to lack of diversity of interviewers. :( Can anyone relate?

Any one in HPE? I recently got an offer (~60lpa, 13 YOE) the variable pay/RSU etc seems to be on the lower side compared to the industry. No joining bonus too. Any one who can offer insights on feasible payranges/ yearly hike trends etc?

What's the recruitment process for Consultants or associate consultants on analytics side ? I was said there would be 4 steps at minimum.

Hey guys,

How is Yum! Brands? Is it like a startup?

They have started a new division - digital and tech.

How can I transition from the big four to FAANG? What would the role equivalents be?

Deloitte 🐠, does your company cover tech courses in the first year? Looking to make a move over there but also wanna take a SANS course soon

I’m taking a Microsoft certification course with Excel 2016. Should I opt for the 2019 version or are there few differences?

Fishes, is 110K for Senior 3 consultant an average offer?

I started a design job, and I was wondering if anyone could send me the steps and procedures that we follow for concrete and steel design. I appreciate any help you can give.

If you receive an RFE on the I485 while it has been pending for 180 days, does your new company attorney respond to the RFE? Assuming you switched companies after it has been pending for 180 days. Anyone experienced anything similar?

Is laptop reimbursement policy still available or not since hybrid wfo has resumed? Joined last month. This is for Mumbai

Venting a bit: Are you finding DEI groups at work overrun with allies. Is there also an increase in celebrating said allies? Is it just me?

Most of the groups I'm in (esp. event teams) are being taken over by allies wanting to do what they think should be done to 'celebrate' whatever topic the month is, usually speaking over marginalized coworkers and rarely consulting with them. It seems like the only time this doesn't happen is for gay (usually yt) men or BHM. I'm just feeling so...minimized.

Just got off the phone with a recruiter who asked me what year I graduated from my MBA program and college and effectively told me I was too old for the role. I do have the 1 year of experience they asked for in the job in question. It's just that I have all this other experience in things unrelated to the role or things I want to deemphasize in my next role. Is there anything I can do? I only list the last 8 years of experience (as it's most relevant) and don't have my graduation years listed.

I recently changed my last name. When my husband and I got married over 20 years ago we talked about what legacy we would leave it children... Would it be in the form of a company, a brand, or what? We came up with a name that was the second half of my first meme combined with the second half of his first name. We didn't yet know how we were gonna use it... But we had named our legacy. Over the past couple years, as things like 23 and me have become more popular, we started...cont'd

How did you all get into the DEI space professionally? I’m doing a lot of work internally at my firm and spent a lot of time in my masters program focusing on DEI and want to do DEI work full time. Looking for any guidance in making the transition from traditional consulting.

Something about using the phrase “commentating” regarding Tulsa or the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder feels wrong. Am I off, or should I suggest design team revise this copy?

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback. Examples include telling an Asian person they are too quiet/shy or telling a Black person they are agressive/abrasive. DO NOT DO THIS. It clearly represents bias in Performance Management. Performance feedback should be tied to business outcomes with clear examples of what the person does well + how they can improve.

Is anyone wondering what life will really be like for all the new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion executives that many companies are hiring and bragging about now? I wonder how much power they will actually have to effect change. I wonder how long the trend will last.

Honest question: Are you intentionally mentoring anyone who doesn't look like you? And I'm not referring to your randomly assigned counselees. Type Y or N.

What do you all suggest for impactful and meaningful DE&I goal for leadership level?
