How to be black in America.
What are some of the things you do to avoid racist encounters? I’d start below 👇🏾 👇🏾. I hope this thread can help us better self—preserve and also empower.

I don’t have my profile picture on ride-share and food delivery services (so the drivers don’t know I’m black before hand).

I prefer working from home to avoid/reduce instances of micro aggression.

i agree. i don’t think we should continue to avoid racism in the workplace. within reason & to the point that we maintain wellness, our professional livelihood, & it is effective... we should organize to obliterate racism in the workplace.

I code switch when I don’t want to, I smile when I don’t want to, if I’m going somewhere new outside of a major metro area - I always know what neighborhood I’m in, where the closest black person is, and the fastest way to get out of there. I also like working from home / communicating in writing for the same reasons you mentioned.

I hope this helps create shared experience and empowerment! But I will say that I’m in the frame of mind right now not to stock on up racism avoidance tactics, but to use this time to invest in trying to make it so our kids won’t have to.

Hello everyone!
What would you choose between P&G, pwC and a small consulting firm for a data science internship. The three positions are based in Paris and in data science, I have to take a decision this week and I'm completely lost :/
I don't have any clear idea about what I would like to do after (sometimes I think about a phd but others I prefer consulting...)
Thank you so much for your help

I am holding 3 offers-
1) BOSCH - 13LPA

I have 3 YOE with Facebook ads and building brands from scratch on shopify. Any leads to get into relevant jobs?

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.

Mid-level M&A associate over here. Thinking I’d like to make the move out of big law but struggling with what my options are. Have no interest in going in-house and staying in a legal capacity - would want to transition into more of a business role. Wondering if anyone can share their experience making that kind of move.
