thoughts on this inclusion thing? As a minority it seems to be a publicity stunt... for the pictures and social media posts... Just confused about why we are still talking about what needs to get done

Female here and I hate to say it! But whenever I’m pull to a new project I secretly hope I don’t get a female lead. 😞 I had some interesting experiences with women leads, which it does not apply to all women!, but I feel a bit hesitant and I feel is ptsd lol how can I overcome this mentality?! I’m pro women and equally etc etc but I often rather deal with a dude lead Bc we women are so hard on each other. Smh 🤦🏽‍♀️

Hello London folk. There’s a lot of great chat about diversity in adland on fishbowl, but it’s all very US based. So I’ve just started a bowl on diversity in London specifically - 9qo8f

My company (biotech start up >50 employees) are looking to collect diversity data about current employees to provide to candidates when they ask about the company as well as to investors. Any thoughts on whether this is industry standard? What roadblocks to be aware of? Advice on how to go about this as meaningfully as possible?

Anyone from Nationwide? I’d like to hear feedback from current and old employees about the work environment, salary (G3), development, diversity etc. I completed an interview for Claims Manager position.

Have efforts to increase diversity in real estate careers been successful, or do you think there is still a long way to go?

Been for a company for over 2years. The executive team is very much a boy's club. There are a few women in management roles but zero ethnicity diversity there. I raised my concern to HR in feb. And they are just now deciding to do something about it. They want me (white female) to put together a diversity committee. Any suggestions on how to go about it? How to attract volunteers to the committee? I want to make sure I get the right people involved in this, to push for changes.

Hi All,

Can some1 tell me which company is better wells fargo or Natwest in terms of wlb, year on year appraisal, work culture and diversity candidate?

Thank You in advance

Gay man who works in a large org that is big on diversity and inclusion efforts. I’d say about 50-60% of people (at all levels, across all age groups and races) list their gender pronouns in email signature. I list mine because I see it as a way to show support for colleagues who may not be cisgender. If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)

Everyone talks about diversity all the time, but I'll just say, I've never once seen a news anchor who wasn't abnormally pretty (girls OR guys). Just sayin' is all

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example). I think we all want socioeconomic, gender and racial barriers to opportunities to be addressed, but no significant number of people really believe in equality of outcome right? This is just a straw man argument.

Kind of a quick rant. I did a quick search through some firms websites because I am thinking of switching jobs. It is definitely clear most firms still do not embrace diversity. I know diverse applicants must be just as qualified! So what is keeping attorneys of color out?? It’s so discouraging.

Thanks for making this bowl all gender inclusive. The other bowl simply was outdated and lacked any kind of diversity whatsoever at all.

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

We are looking to rent a 1BR starting in January, ideally for ~$3k/month. I’ll be working in the downtown area.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!

We are starting to really address diversify and inclusion and build partnerships with community resources.

What do you feel is important in building out DEI program?

Hello fishes, Do you have suggestions on Diversity & Inclusion activities that can be done virtually with a group? I found few ideas in google but would love to hear about any experiences and suggestions.

Let’s start by posting age, location gender (a selfie if you want!) I’m 30/M from nyc looking for something more serious these days in terms of dating..

Hi! My peloton is arriving tomorrow and it’s motivated me to stick with a routine and eat healthier given how much that thing costs 😅. I’ve never done pre/post workout shakes before. Does anyone have any recommendations on which protein powders to look into and when to drink the shakes? And also like what to mix with it? Thanks in advance!

Anyone recently joined Optum in India? Did you receive welcome gift?

Does anyone know of any good CLEs that address complex issues re:multi-state employers/remote employees?

Why are potential business happenings by a candidate’s kid disqualifying but (gestures wildly) for the other candidate not for TSers? Going to your resort, conducting federal business at your property, having foreign officials stay, not doing a blind trust, being granted trademarks/land deals in other countries, promoting your products/books in office, calling out other companies? Stop pretending you care or advocate for anything good/true.

Hey can anyone guide me for Technical Round 2 of BDO Rise, it's 15 minute video meet, atleast if you can tell me what should I expect from it, it will be a relief.

I can't seem to change my profile

What is difference between roles- consultant and senior associate offered by Cognizant?

Hello fishes, I've received an offer at Slalom Build as a Principal with a base salary of 170K + 7.5% annual bonus + 7.5% additional bonus spread across 4 quarters.

Are either the annual or the quarter bonus performance based?

Have full-time post-MBA offers from Bain big MCOL City and McKinsey small-ish M/HCOL city. McKinsey city is close to home and where I want to live long term, but I have really vibed with the Bain people.

How do I structure my decision making process?

Have final round interviews at BCG tomorrow. I'm at S& right now at the SA level. Father had a sudden health issue come up this week and it's got me off my game. I'll ultimately need to support him financially for at least a year while he recovers. Not complaining, but has me considering just dropping out of the interview process. Is that crazy? Is the opportunity with BCG really so far beyond what I have already with S&? Is dropping a better look than interviewing and doing terribly?

Anyone willing to dm about climate/sustainability roles at BCG?

Learning cloud architecture right now so apologies if these are obvious questions: Best ways to store video metadata to perform analysis on it? I'm looking at AWS and GCP. Saw that Cassandra would be good for it, but not sure what the GCP equivalent is? But also I'm a bit confused on if Cassandra is just a DB and storage would need to be elsewhere? All help is welcome! I've been spinning my wheels on Google trying to understand

I rearrange my home office several times a year. Idk why but every 4 months I need to change it up. Anyone else do this?

If you were to articulate the relationship between change management and value realization, how would you do so? To your mind, is change management responsible for value realization? If so, how do?

Hi,

Hi everyone,
I have been shortlisted for a commercial banking operation profile interview. Can anyone help me about this profile and what questions I can expect?

What are firm’s known billable requirements? Is there a ramp up period?

anyone here a conservative and a member of a political organization/non-profit in the NYC area? Want to be active but it’s hard to find latinos who affiliate with the republican party. Don’t come @ me

Excited for the HLN Leadership Essentials!

Damn this is dead. How sad is that

How do you answer this question “What race are you?” Seems simple but as someone of Latin American geographic decent it seems more complex than Asian, black, native America, or White. No brown box !

So happy to see the Latinos finally represent!

Tax sucks. Bleah.

When is the ALPFA convention? Did it already happen? Sorry I'm new here.

To all my fellow accountants, follow my IG account @be.audit.you.can.be for some great accounting humor! I just started and will be updating daily. Who doesn't need a quick giddy up? :)

Wow so dead! I guess we really are the minority 😕

Anyone else here from a shithole country? I’m proudly Dominican 🇩🇴 😁

Out of curiosity...is ALPFA 🇪🇸 friendly? I know back in the day, but curious how it was now. I want to encourage everyone to get into accounting. Thanks!

I’m looking for a Spanish speaking auditor for a Fortune 500 company. Awesome international travel if anyone is interested.... TIA!

Hola! Ya se terminó el busy season. Como les fue?

How’s attending the ALPFA conference in Vegas?

I would think Miami, LA, Chicago, NYC. Anyone attend the ALPFA convention?

Anyone else have their parents and tias try to set you up with everyone?

How is this bowl not lit?

How many of my fellow Latinos are CPAs? I have 3 more but want to represent us and get it done 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Is anyone here actively involved in ALPFA and if so, would you recommend it? What have you been able to accomplish through your membership/participantion. Ultimately, I just get the sense that its for college students to network and try landing their first job.

Hii, anyone going to the ALPFA? Convention this year? Or went to it last year? Tips?
