Hey, I had an interesting question that I wanted to run by the women in consulting: my mentor (director, male) advised leveraging being a woman as a diversity hire to get a better internal referrals from higher up. He said big 4 offers a significantly higher bonus for associate and senior associate experienced hire diversity roles. Is this accurate? Are women still diversity hires? And if that is the case, how would I even navigate that?

Can confirm for Accenture, referral bonuses are higher for referring women

He’s was previously at Accenture so makes sense.

I don’t think women count as diversity hires at Deloitte. Based on the data I have seen, our gender imbalance comes into play as a a retention issue, not as a hiring issue.

Eh, Jews are NOT a protected minority, so I don't think he was actually going in that direction...

I've never heard this at kpmg. Referral bonuses are flat based on level they're hired at I think, irrespective of gender or race.

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal.

This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??
