I’m one of the few non white males at my small agency. I gave them my two weeks notice and then the CEO starts setting up chats with other CDs he knows, all people that look like him. So much for all the DEI talk, workshops, and training. At the end of the day, equitable hiring practices go out the door for the bigger roles and people are brought through the back door.

Regular antics man. All of the promises, calls, "commitments to this and that" are all just talk. These leaders like people who look and think like them. Simple.

They should get some credit for hiring you, no?

I see what you're saying but OP's former boss needs to be inclusive moving forward in perpetuity in order to make any progressive change.

Know that the only people who "get credit" for diverse hires are white men. When POC hire other POC it is seen as unfavorable by coworkers/ peers. This is not anecdotal, it's research from HBR.

The pressure of being "diverse" in a sea of whiteness is not compensated or appreciated when leveraged to bring more minorities into the culture.

OP, how frustrating, good luck at your new spot.

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets).

I have also considered a sales analyst role considering that I am moderately versed in Salesforce and have worked both the customer facing and sales generating side. TIA!

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
