I’m prospecting heavily and I’ve noticed a significant uptick in bounce back emails with similar messaging. “I’m no longer at the company please contact this person instead”….. I’m also noticing they’re mostly people of color and women. I am not exaggerating. We’re talking 95%. To confirm I’m checking linked in and seeing layoff post after layoff post and green banners for these same people. Are this administration’s policies showing up on your day to day work?

That's really interesting. I've noticed a lot of people being laid off, of course. But I hadn't made the connection between the open hostility to diversity and job losses. It would be interesting to see some actual reporting on something like that. I wouldn't be surprised if your experience reflected a larger trend.

I think more context is needed OP. Is your industry heavily dominated by this demographic? Is this something you’ve noticed just these last couple of weeks? Could this be just a coincidence?

I’ve sent thousands of cold outbound emails over the last two years and have chalked bounced back emails to nothing more than they’ve left the company or have been affected by a layoff. Much less have I ever monitored anyone’s gender or race of who I’m reaching out to.

Not that I have noticed.

Have a formal offer at Citi for 120K as an AVP in the NY office. Currently making 92K at my current role where I feel there’s not much room to grow anymore. Is this a fair offer? I currently WFH pretty much full time at my current role which has been amazing, but it seems like Citi would require me to be there 2-3 days in the office per week - and this is something I’m very hesitant about. Thoughts on how to approach this?

Hi fishes,

Today I got an email from TCS to complete an ibegin registration. Whenever I login, it is asking me to enter PAN details and mail ID. If I give, it is giving a warning that my account is already present in ibegin and telling me to login with another email ID. As if I remember, one of the consultancy, used my PAN to register in ibegin but I’m unable to login since it is registered by their mail ID and my PAN.
