How do you usually feel when you're in an all-white or dominantly white group? I don't know why but I feel isolated, even if there is no particular reason to feel that way. Am I alone in this? If you've suffered from feeling this way, how did you help yourself out? I know it's all in my head but the awareness isn't helping me feel any more confident in such settings.

I completely understand where you're coming from, and you're definitely not alone in feeling this way. Being in predominantly white spaces can often feel that way, even when there's no overt hostility or exclusion. It's a complex mix of historical context, societal dynamics, and personal experiences. I remind myself of my worth, skills, and the unique perspective I bring to the table. Don't ever let yourself feel less than anyone for something like the color of your skin or anything about the way you appear. It's about your unique personality.. no one else is you! Embrace that with your head high :)

Depends and every situation can be different. I have been around both and sometimes the all white group has actually treated me better than the other way around. There doesn’t seem to be a good answer, I just focus on my work and what I am doing.

I have two offers in hand. KPMG and Deloitte. CTC is almost same whereas variable is more in KPMG. I am inclined towards Deloitte India. But HR in KPMG told me that I won't be able to join KPMG India in future as I accepted their offer. I informed her within 2 weeks and didn't do anything for onboarding. I didn't ask to increase the amount or JB and I strongly believe I informed early so they can look for other candidates. Is this bluff? Any HR here to clarify
