Just wanted to say, as a guy in my mid-20’s, cheers to all the 30-40+ y/o LGBTQIA+ folks here—I know we roll our eyes at the performative rainbows on everything now, but you folks made this possible for the rest of us—you fought for acceptance, for our rights, and you made it through the struggle so people my age don’t have the same weight to carry, so we don’t have to be as afraid.
We have a long way to go, and I’ll carry the torch too, but I really think y’all deserve more gratitude. Happy 🏳️‍🌈

Does anyone else feel like they’re playing Wackamole all day long?

Any insights on Ankura Consulting?

Is there a corporate way to bring up to senior leaders that an IC is causing issues across multiple teams because they are demanding and also doesn’t collaborate well? The IC gives vague “direction” then says they are too busy to clarify. They also refuse to use our project management/ collaboration tools.

Can anyone share the interview experience of technical consultant role in Salesforce..

Just had an interview with Netflix and at some point I mentioned “GAFA” (even joking that it’s probably GAMA now) and completely forgot they’re in FAANG 😬

Will this be one of those moments I remember when going to bed for the rest of my life? Yes.

Under contract for nearly 1.1M. Wife and I are at HHI $315k. Will go up in the future, $400k in 3 years and $500k possible in 5-7 years. We have $300k in non-retirement funds, $260k of which will go towards acquiring the house. We have 2 kids and will probably reduce (not maxing) retirement accounts next 18 months to do this. Anyone have any thoughts or feedback? We’ll have to live on a budget and watch but I feel we’ll get used to it and income will grow.

Hi all,
How much time will they take for background verification in Barclays.

Hows the industry doing in MENA right now? Any worries about a potential crash? Are firms still hiring? Based in the US and everything is tense here with the recent tech layoffs

Google forms make for great exit tickets. Of course this only works if your students all have a device. Hard copy exit tickets can become unmanageable, depending on class sizes and frequency.

Hi All

Looking for recommendations for the SHRM-SCP exam; going the self study route…thanks

I finished my internship at EY LLP (Feb-Jul) after nearly 6 months. I've been promoted to Senior Analyst. Is there a set time of month that I must be in this position in order to be considered for the next promotion?


Otherwise, is there a mid-year promotion?

I’m sure it’s not new to 2022, but I’m feeling more than ever this year how much of “corporate pride” centers around gay men and calls it “lgbtq”. Are gay women, bisexuals, etc. not as palatable for audiences? I’m struggling with this a bit.

It’s that time when pride briefs are rolling across our desks. We should collectively write a guide on pride campaigns, what to do and what not to do. Anyone want to share their advice?

Hi fellow 🌈 🐠- Looking for a therapist in Toronto. Can be virtual but would prefer to do sessions in person at some point with the same therapist for continuity. Any recos or resources on where to start the search? Bonus if they are LGBTQ or have experience/specialize within that community.

Are you in brand planning mode for Pride 2021?

What do you or are you looking for out of your LGBTQIA+ employee resource group?

I see recruiters encouraging Women, POC, and LGBTQIA to apply. How does one show they identify as the third?

Today’s my first day changing my pronouns at work, I am excited and terrified!! If you did the same and feel like sharing, I would love to hear your experience 💫 I am so anxious!

How is everyone doing?

Does anyone know of a good therapist they could recommend in the LA area? Saw someone post something similar to this in the bowl the other day so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask. They don’t have to be LGBTQ+, but it would help if they have some experience in that area.

I am an advertising professor studying how people’s identities shape their experiences in advertising. I am interested in interviewing LGBTQ+ folks to learn whether and how your identity shapes your experiences and perspectives on advertising and the work you create and produce. If you’re willing to chat, email me at kwindels at UFL dot edu.

So which one of y’all went to Puerto Vallarta 👀

Im asking this everywhere - is anyone in a virtual book club that is accepting new members?

Hii - been trying to network and create an LGBTQIA alliance within the ad industry. If anyone might be able to point me in the direction of alliances or movements of that sort comment plz :)

Looking to join a running club for LGBTQ folk or other agency folk. Is that a thing? NYC by the way.

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈
