Varies a lot by level
Partnership still white af
Significant gains for women past 5-10 years
Fewer East Asian partners than partners of any other race; blacks and Latinos not far off
We have a shit ton of work to do- BCG is a place of immense privilege in ways you can’t imagine... and probably isn’t doing enough to make things better

People who feel the need to bring up how a spot in leadership must be earned when talking about diversity are telling on themselves.

As if no white male has ever been promoted into leadership without fully deserving it...gross.

Diversity = white women in Deloitte HC.....but that is progress. Just wish there was a “brown” partner to look up to that I’d feel comfortable really getting deep with, but I guess I’ll just have to blaze that trail and be that guy for someone in a decade or so.

Accenture is hyper-focused on white diversity. Let's be honest. It's definitely pushed down our throats at every turn. Are you a white female? YAY! Are you a gay white male? YAY! We are SO lacking in Hispanics and African Americans in leadership.

It’s also crazy that so many of you think minorities are handed leadership roles as if POC don’t have to be 3 times as good to get half as much. As if trump isn’t the president lol. The reality is, white People in consulting are handed all kinds of things they don’t earn by merit.

Lots of focus on gender diversity with little to no discussion of racial.
EY1 and others like him perpetuate the lie that only caucasians can get their jobs on merit.

Happy for it, though it is clear the company pushes minorities into roles for the sake of diversity rather than on merit. At the end of the day you reap what you sow whilst I also believe leadership should be able to do what they think is best

Diversity = white women. Very few black people in positions of Manager. Literally 2-3 black VPs and they are all women.

Side note - when you assume POC are in leadership positions because of their race, you’re participating in racism. It’s ironic because so many of the white leadership I meet are abysmally average, at best.

The big diversity complaint I kind of have is, diversity of background. Like all Ivy League and private is good, yes (hypothetically). But a good mix of GOOD state schools (mich, uva, wisc, etc) is better imo too.

I think you’ll get smart ethnically diverse people if you just expand out schools. The state schools have more diversity just because first gen college students that are smart as hell go to their state uni. Shout out to Reggie Van Lee, he’s a legend in the Consulting game that I’m sure young black dudes looked up to

I get the whole diversity initiative, but we must not forget that a spot must be earned with intellect and hard work. A black or Indian partner for the sake of just being a person of color is ridiculous. This is capitalism after all - competitive advantage and revenue first.

K5,

What people don’t always believe is it comes down to sponsorship (which is often lacking for women and minorities). Take 2 candidates up for promotion to manager. A gets promoted and B doesn’t. The reason given for B is that they aren’t managing anyone. Sounds totally fair and unbiased right. Well guess what, 6 months earlier both A and B were reviewed during consensus and neither were managing anyone. But when A was presented the people in the room said, let’s make sure we give this person some ppl to manage. Who is going to make that happen? A had sponsors looking out for him/her and was given the OPPORTUNITY. B was not. It’s not about promoting or hiring one person over another to achieve diversity. It’s making sure people have equal OPPORTUNITIES

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.

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.

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?
