I don’t think it’s opposition as much as a bad reaction to bad recruiters. His follow ups in the replies make it seem like he’s naive when it comes to getting hired, especially as a creative. In fact it seems like their biggest problem is that they have worked at the same agency their entire career and haven’t built a network, so they’re underpaid and don’t have other agencies reaching out to him. This might be the first “white male victim” post that’s relatable because it’s the kind of situation you hear more often for non-white talent, and sometimes white women.

The difference is that for us, instead of “you’re a white man,” it’s something like “it wasn’t a cultural fit” or “you don’t have [very specific] experience.” Which, as we know, tends to also be bs.

I didn't take it as opposition and I think it's unhelpful to do so.

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

Happy friday y’all

I’m curious to know if anyone has experience working part-time in architecture? I have been working for large international firms in NYC for the past 10 years. So I work all day every day. My evenings and often the weekends are all absorbed by work duties. Working part-time would allow me to find a better balance, and carve out space for side gigs and eventually start my own firm. Any recommendations?

Hi everyone,
I have an upcoming Product Manager interview with BCGDV. HR told me it would be a 45 minutes Zoom call with a Product Director.

Thank you so much!
