I often find that even though I provide lots of information and set pre planning meetings none of the teams I engage with pay attention . I work in diversity which to most is a low priority. How do I address when they glaze over or don’t recall the information I provide? It feels really awkward to continuously go into meetings or respond to email with receipts.

How many Firm (non-billable hours) a year do you commit, where do most of them go, and what’s your gender?

Searching for new ways to increase our inclusion efforts with our ESL team members. What is your organization doing? Any new and innovative ideas? TIA

Hello! It seems this bowl is not very active but I'd like it to be. So here's my story: Born & raised in PR, moved to CA for undergrad & have been here since then. I graduated from law school in 2019, followed by a 2 yr bk clerkship. I did the evening program. I really enjoyed law school, in spite of the microaggressions, the late nights, & crazy competition. Love all things diversity in the law. Anyway, currently looking for a position in NYC/DC area. 🤗

I love my job and the people I work with, but there’s one thing that really bothers me: the lack of diversity. Sometimes when I walk into the office and see everyone else around me as the only POC, it feels kind of weird. I don’t think anyone here has ever said anything racist or sexist to me personally, but I don’t feel comfortable talking about these issues with anyone because they might take it personally and then things could get awkward between us.

Best and worst experience relating to diversity? For me. Best: winning an agency competition for a diversity related thought piece. Worst: reporting a sociopath creep and nothing being done about it.

What are some racial/gender/age based micro aggressions you’ve experienced in the workplace?

Not cpa related, but if anyone is applying to pwc start internship 2021 and you identify as a minority you can "present yourself as a minority" and a recruiter will refer you to a web page to see if you meet this criteria. Basically it looks like you'll get preferential treatment if you meet the criteria. Firm is really pushing diversity it would seem

Hello fishes, Do you have suggestions on Diversity & Inclusion activities that can be done virtually with a group? I found few ideas in google but would love to hear about any experiences and suggestions.

Thanks for making this bowl all gender inclusive. The other bowl simply was outdated and lacked any kind of diversity whatsoever at all.

My heart really goes out for the women in Pakistan, the amount of harassment they face on daily basis. I wonder why that is, is the root cause the extreme level of gender segregation.

It's funny how our entertainment industry never misses the chance to report each year how diversity in Hollywood is still wanting and then do absolutely nothing about it. Yes queen, give us nothing, lol.

Help! I'm a Sped teacher (ELA inclusion) that comes home to a High Functioning Autistic 9 yr old with ADHD and a slew of sensory issues that has sworn off soap 🤢. I've made visual check list for bathroom processes, bought timers, tried different bars and body washeds with net sponges, towels and even invested in a pricey showerhead with multiple settings. His set of needs are out of my wheel house. I need suggestions before I just pack up and move out *sarcasm but at the end of my rope*.

Does anyone else wish their school had been more up-to-date on STEM when they were a kid? I went to college with some kids who had been practicing and studying code since middle school. I learned about it from the internet in high school enough that I wanted to go to college for it, but I still feel like I started behind everyone else regardless of gender.

Have efforts to increase diversity in real estate careers been successful, or do you think there is still a long way to go?

Hey, I graduated UChicago and took a finance analyst position. However, I am looking to switch into management consulting because of a couple factors I have realized matter more to me than I realized: 1. Team and Collaborative problem-solving, 2. Diversity of companies and industries I am exposed to because of entrepreneurial hopes in the future.

Would appreciate any likes I could dm or any comments with firms I should look into that could be a good fit and hire off-cycle or for January 2023!

Does BCW not allow conservatives to be employed at this company? I’m sitting through another meeting where we are highlighting amazing women and it is so politicized I am completely offended. AOC, Biden, Ilhan, Hilary... I mean at try to be inclusive when speaking of diversity. You can’t name a single female in the Conservative party throughout history?

Can someone help me understand how backdoor Roth works in my situation?

I contribute the $19.5K max to a 401K each year. Would backdoor Roth be (A) the ability to roll $6K of that $19.5K into a Roth? or (B) an incremental $6K that I could contribute to a separate IRA then backdoor into a Roth?

Asked another way, does backdoor Roth allow me to actually contribute $25.5K each year, or does it just allow $6K of my $19.5K contribution to build in a Roth?

Thanks!

Currently a manager at UK Big4 in AAS/FAAS/CMAAS. Don’t mind the technical side of the house, but really enjoy the deals and high data side of the jobs when working with FDD. Based on the business, TAG might be the ‘easiest’ to transfer most of my skills, but open for insights from the other service lines.

Anyone know a quick way to value paste for each tab to another excel file if I have 40 tabs in a file needed to copy. Each tab has many formula in there, but when copy-over I only want them to show hard-coded numbers rather than showing all formulas.

If you are working industry, 40 hours a week with a competitive pay and left B4 tax - can you share your new job title? Not sure what is out there that I could apply for.

Hey, I'm joining EY More Place office in Sept. 2 BHK preferred moving with family (3yo daughter) Would prefer a direct tube to More Place, within 45 mins travel time.

I’m a woman of color dating a Republican who…doesn’t seem like a Republican??? He has tons of close friends who are liberal and of color so I don’t feel out of place when we hang out but anyone else in a relationship where you have some political differences?

When we talk about politics it’s actually always very respectful. I kinda expected all Republicans to be racist and dumb LMAOOOOO He’s actually really cool and we’ve really hit it off 🤔

LMAO what do Afro Latinos look like? I just asked a creative to include more pictures of Afro-Latinos in our hispanic messaging and she said "I tried to find pictures of videos that looked authentic but they didn't have the right look, it's a very specific look". So no black people in the ad cause this white passing lady needs to gate keep who looks latina enough. The blond, blue eyed women in the photos passed though... UGHH.

Good Morning Ladies,
I wanted to ask some advice to see if I am wrong for feeling the way I feel. Here’s the story: I (25BW) works for a very small engineering firm. Everybody at my firm is fairly young the oldest being 45. The owner is just 33 and my direct boss. We recently won a huge project and I am the project manager. I was creating an agenda for a meeting that am leading and asked for mark ups to ensure I have everything. It was approx 1.5 hr before the meeting and still haven’t 1)

Hey CA Ladies! I am planning a solo trip to CA next month. Flying into LA and renting a car. Any suggestions on a reasonable 2-3 cities to visit while there? I am there for 2 weeks total. I was thinking maybe start in LA then visit San Diego or Santa Monica? I have friends in SF but wondering if that's too far? It's been almost 10 yrs since I've gone. Open to any/all suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Hi ladies- Recently joined a new firm (5 months ago). I’m working on a project with a manager who is passive aggressive and not patient at all. I’m still learning so there’s a lot that I don’t know. My anxiety has increased severely since working with her. My heart was racing this morning when I started to think about Monday and I almost threw up. I have a catch up call with my assigned mentor tomorrow and was wondering if I should bring up my relationship with this manager. Any thoughts? TIA

Has anyone had micro locs or sister locs as a protective style? Was it worth it?I am debating between the two of them and trying to decide how much it will be for installation and maintenance. My hair is 4C and shoulder length

Hello,
Looking for some advice. In two 1on1’s with my manager the past few months he has mentioned that when he pings me in Teams it takes awhile for me to respond. The first time he mentioned it, I hadn’t bought my daughter her car yet, so I would take breaks to take her to work/school (She works 2 jobs and goes to high school and community college for dual enrollment). I put when I was away as OOO on my calendar, but that’s what my initial thought was at regarding his complaint. Cont. below

So I had an interview for a supervisor role in healthcare operations. The director that i interviewed with was a YT male. So after me telling him about myself his next statement was that this role is one that will open doors to other higher leadership positions and I don’t want someone who just wants to be a boss so why do you want to be a leader. So I explained that I like to help people and that I am result driven and that the impact my manager had on me influence me to pursue leadership

Anyone have ADHD and in a leadership role? I feel like in my company I get more scrutinized for my ADHD traits, more than my white male counterparts. In example I love my silencing headphones and to be alone. However I get frowned upon because I’m distancing myself from my own team. Or I forget little things somethings (someone is out of office and etc) and in my actual review on work day, they’ve documented it as “very forgetful.” One male colleague is worse than me 😭, but because he’s a social
