The Brits are done talking about the lack of diversity in the entertainment industry ... they’re doing something about it!

Finance has received quite a bit of flack for lack of gender diversity - but how can firms go about attracting and retaining more female talent?

Hello everyone, this bowl is just the start. We will make it big. Request you to stay here after joining. Meanwhile, do share this in your network. It would be a great help.

I’ve just started a bowl for diversity in London specifically if anyone is interested - 9qo8f

Anyone have any good diversity training resources?

Hi ladies! First gen Latina corporate lawyer here. I’ll be relocating from DC to NYC soon. Recognizing how hard it is to find diversity in the workplace even in the most diverse cities, I’ve joined this bowl in hopes of contributing to building a community among my fellow Latina lawyers. Happy to chat virtually or grab a coffee anytime.

Yes! The stretching of "diversity” seems to be such a widespread symptom of this industry’s fear of addressing the uncomfortable realities of race within it. A distraction? Very “All Lives Matter” ...

Question for everyone; what are some of the better job boards for underrepresented groups in tech? Non-traditional job boards that promote inclusivity and diversity hiring?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a successful diversity focused job board?

Biggest stereotypes about working in diversity & inclusion....Go!

I have taught Pk-2 (full time aides) & SpEd inclusion K-8 with parapros. This will be my first time alone in a classroom of 27 3rd graders. What is your favorite project to do in 3rd??

Hello! It seems this bowl is not very active but I'd like it to be. So here's my story: Born & raised in PR, moved to CA for undergrad & have been here since then. I graduated from law school in 2019, followed by a 2 yr bk clerkship. I did the evening program. I really enjoyed law school, in spite of the microaggressions, the late nights, & crazy competition. Love all things diversity in the law. Anyway, currently looking for a position in NYC/DC area. 🤗

Hi everyone! I’d love to hear your thoughts on EEO surveys during the job application process. Is it more beneficial to self-disclose or refrain from disclosing race, gender, disability, etc?

Which method is more likely to get your application noticed? Any guidance would be helpful on my job hunt. Thank you.

Just got an offer at Deloitte. Feel like comp/rank are too low due to lack of diversity of interviewers. :( Can anyone relate?

I have often wondered if being honest when I fill out EEOC / diversity forms if that limits me from new work / promotions. I used to be able to hide my disability, but it is progressive so now it's not as easy to hide. Thoughts?

Thank you Nadia for your insights. I’m frustrated gaps still exist in the industry; and the diversity & inclusion needle hasn’t move much since Al Sharpton protested on Madison Ave in the 90’s

Whats everyones age, gender, and background?

Thinking about taking an influencer diversity role at Marina Maher…anyone have thoughts on the company culture?

Hi Fishes,
Does IBM match the salary after accepting?
I have IBM offer of 18 LPA in hand (accepted)
And recently got a better offer 21 LPA in hand.

What should I do? Could you please suggest?

Would this be unethical to ask after accepting?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

im 27 and could possibly retire if I kept my spending low. However you never know what’s going to happen, do you? How do you deal with the uncertainty?

FCB Health? Thoughts?

healthcare promotion from EM to SM in your firm? trying to calibrate expectations....

Tips on looking for a remote position in the communications, Public relations, or marketing field? Everything I find seems to be a scam, way underpaid, or a 100% commission based role.

Can anyone provide any insight on getting into IB or PE? I worked in wealth management for a decade and I’m finishing up my MBA with a concentration in Mergers & Acquisitions. Series 7, series 65 and CFP as well.

Anyone know when rewards/workday are likely to get updated with PA results?

If you do billable work on a given PTO/vacation day, do you still count that day as vacation? Or do you get that vacation day "back"? Or do you only get the part that you billed "back"? (Or some other option.)

Is residency / working in a state required to obtain a CPA license there? If I live and work in state A, is it possible to obtain a CPA license in state B?

All these posts about our earning potential as accountants are making me feel down about our prospects. It makes you feel regret in choosing this progression.

Hi Guys,

I have an offer from JPMC of 27 lacs Fixed and HR round pending for Morgan Stanely Bangalore.
How much should I ask?
YOE:7 Yrs, Stack: Scala Spark

Also which is better JP or MS? I heard rumours about Job security issues at MS. TIA

What is your guys recommendation for dealing with a toxic coworker. They bring negative energy to work and personal issues everyday.

HI Fishes,

Sent documents after I got a select mail from HR on last Thursday. When can I expect offer letter?. Verbally HR confirmed that joining date will be in last week of Dec . Is it fingers crossed for me? or will I get the offer for sure? Much needed for me now at this point of time. Any insights from previous experience would help me stay sharp

Timma be high and eat hot dogs.

Agree or disagree: devil dogs is only good high. Dog Hause on the otherhand - low key date night and high

Best places for takeout in inner loop? I love Local Foods, Aladdin, etc.

Today’s my bday. Also my beloved family dog is getting put to sleep due to cancer. I didn’t take the day off today for either reasons. Do I have my priorities messed up right now?

How often do you drink? To what extent?

Does anyone have experience confronting workplace inequality? Any lawyer recommendations? Things to say/not say?

I don’t trust HR and I don’t know what to do.

Is there a Latinos in advertising bowl?!

Does anyone else feel a lack of trust at work? A lack of trust in your judgement, reasoning, ideas etc...

How do you navigate that, other than proving yourself repeatedly?

Feeling very discouraged.

My agency is just now launching d and I but no talks of equity, how should equity begin to be discussed in a way that isn't some new foreign concept to agency with probably 3 to 5 pct black/Hispanic

As someone who isn't a PoC I'm always unsure of how I should refer to others correctly. First question:

African American vs Black - what is more accepted?

Can marginalized people take any measures to prevent unconscious bias toward themselves in the hiring process without throwing their identity under the bus?

I notice that your “visual identity” for this workshop represents different sexes and different cultures - but no older people - who are now bearing the brunt of ageism. Why have we been left out?

Is the one D&I professional in this business that hasn’t had to create a grassroots movement?

I know most of the questions here will be on sexism or inclusion of POC but can we talk about ageism? Once we reach a certain age should we just leave the agency business? Is that fair?

Does anyone talk about economic diversity? You know middle class and economically challenged people who cannot afford art schools and expensive private colleges?

Mcgarrybowen San Francisco? Any thoughts?

Does anyone have any useful articles, tweets, insta posts that I could send people when they say “if I can’t say that then what CAN I say, everything is offensive.” I’m tired.

Hi Nadia thank you for doing this workshop my question is: how do you deal with raging systemic bias and not get victimised by your line manager who is also a group head ?

I've often heard "diversity of thought" (i.e. conservatives) as being callously injected into the diversity convo. Typically this coming from white men. What are your thoughts on this?

I want to move into something a bit more related to content ideation/creation. I’ve been doing ops for 10 yrs but it was never what i really wanted. How do i do this with our sacrificing my pay?
