I shouldn’t have to even think about this, but I have removed my picture from my LinkedIn profile because I am Black. My race starts working against me before an employer even notices my skills. I have been an RN for over 15 years and I have a Masters in Health informatics, yet my skin color gets me discounted or ruled out before I even get a call.

I get that. It's the same with my name, so I have to use my middle name instead of my first name. Sadly, it seems like we have to adapt just to get our foot in the door and I get how frustrating it is when they look at race first before even getting to know you. It's rare that people can look past ethnicity and it seems like a lot of people allow their cultural biases through and make there assumptions based on that. Btw, with your previous work, perhaps it's time to use those skills towards your own business and have a little bit of freedom or do a bit of freelancing? Also, the right people will come to you, so I wouldn't give up hope quite yet. As for removing, the LinkedIn photo on LinkedIn, it can work two ways- a bit of mystery or people maybe hesitant to reach out. It's all about the perspective and the content posted there. Good luck.

I am sorry to hear that although most of the blame for that can be placed on MAGA and DOGE plus those who supported / still support MAGA and DOGE.
I would not look so badly at the employer as all companies are to have or soon get rid of their DEI policies or face millions of dollars in fines.
I could care less what a person's age, creed, color, etc. is if they are qualified and able to do the job but it seems like every time, we take a step forward to equality there is someone who thinks we have to be pulled back 2-3 or more steps back which makes me sick to no end.

Any advice on where to go after PR (financial & healthcare)? I have one year of experience and have been pretty disappointed with my current agency.

I’ve been talking to people & networking trying to figure out next steps— could use some insight. The culture at my current agency isn’t the best & the pay is basically unlivable for NYC. Any thoughts?

Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

I’ve been with my current company for a little over 5 years now and since the start of the pandemic have been WFH. I absolutely love WFH and have always wanted a position in which I could WFH. There is talk of bringing everyone back to the office full time and that’s not what I would like to happen. I’ve been searching for a new position in which it would be a remote role. My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.
