I casted two Spanish speaking actors to play friends on a US Spanish spot. One of my choices had a more Dominican accent and none of the white folks could comprehend how it would make sense that the two Latino friends would have slightly different Spanish accents. They deemed it “unrealistic”

I’m from Miami all my friend have different Spanish accents lol

Bain & Company I received an offer to join Bain & Company for SF office but due to family reasons, I will have to stay in the South Bay. Given Bain’s local staffing model, it will be challenging for me to commute to SF and back. Is it possible to be transferred to the palo alto office/is that office fully functioning or does it mainly serve as a hub for partners and research?

Hi Fishes,
Need some positive suggestions.

I'm a data analyst(SQL, Python, ETL, Viz) with 6.5yrs exp at LTI(1 Month exp).
I left PWC AC after 6 months of joining because of the nature of dabba work I was getting(80% testing/documentation, 20% technical). Worked for 12+ hrs everyday and wanted to have some wlb.

Now in LTI, life is too peaceful and there's no technical work in current project. I'm getting thoughts like I'm wasting my skills by taking less tech projects at this stage of career.

The internationally-reported subway shooting in Brooklyn was a hate crime against Latinos. The shooter had lots of anti-Latino online content and targeted a majority Latino neighborhood. Notice how there’s little mention of this in the news.

Can anyone share agencies with good, genuine Latino representation, especially in leadership? My dream is to work at an agency that reflects the demographic of the city it's in (i'm in LA)
