I feel weird that my white female manager is only hiring Black strategists (I am Black). We used to have a pretty diverse department, with LGBTQ, Asian, and Latinx representation, however they all left because she mismanaged them and replaced them with an entirely Black team (most are unqualified) and has not changed her management style essentially setting them up to fail.

It feels performative.

Am I trippin & should just be happy more of us are getting in the door?

The scariest part, based on what you have presented is that she hired a bunch of Black folks, set them up for failure, and now whiteness will use this example to support the lies of: 1. We can’t find Black Talent and 2. We hired diversity and it didn’t work.

They won’t be there long. Definitely setting them up for failure in the name of optics. You should speak up if you feel comfortable doing so.

Switching from commission to salary!

I’m considering a less sales-oriented role that doesn’t pay commission. The new role will have a higher base but lower overall earning potential.

What % haircut should be expected? As an example, if I make 100k (base + commission) today, would it be realistic to ask for 90k (10% cut) + equity to make up the difference?

I recently had an interview with BNY for an Analyst role located in DE. The interview went well and I was informed by the recruiter that the team was interested. They asked if I was willing to relocate immediately, and I told him that my decision would be best made if I see an offer. I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?

I am in search of a Project Manager role. I have about 4 + years experience managing projects and in consulting.
