I mentioned this in an interview off-handedly but I suppose passive aggressively and the recruiter proceeded to list every single minority employee they could think of. re:"I have black friends!"

Well I got denied my visa

We keep leaving for other agencies. I made a network of black creatives from my first job, and they whittled away till there were 5 of us, and then I left too XD

Just not that many applying.

Here in Chicago, there's quite a few ppl from South America. Surprised to hear that about NYC. Figured they'd be all over the stunt creatives aka Brazilians at least.

For in-house counsel roles, does firm prestige matter? For example, would the fact that an applicant is from Sullivan & Cromwell vs, say, White & Case matter at all, or is it much more about experience/interview?
