Thoughts on your agency accepting multiple black-owned business work - with clients who first and foremost want to target their community first. Also, have asked how many team are people of color are on the strat/copy team working on the project.
entire team is white, including me.

I hope your agency doesn’t just hire one Black person to check a box for this. Honestly should probably direct the business elsewhere- the client will get better results and much more authentic work with a diverse/Black led team

They need to hire some Black people absolutely. Like a good percentage of the team, not one or two people. And the team should likely be headed up by a Black GAD.

It sounds like you need overall diversity, not to just hire a single black person to check a box. I am white and in the minority on my team. We have two women from South Korea, one from Argentina, a man from Ghana and myself. Our team discussions are so open and honest and I’ve learned so much from them. I hope you find some diversity as it’s truly enriching for your products, customers and personal growth. Best of luck to you!

Thank you for your replies. This situation has escalated and gotten so much worse.

Been practicing a year now. Of 6 attorneys, 4 will be retiring soon, and I was brought in to hopefully take over. I am troubled: first that my partners largely provide me with no guidance. They handed me a client with a large quantity of fairly straightforward casework and have been hands off since. There also hasn’t been any talk of a raise/performance review. How should I ask for guidance/mentor ship? How do I ask for a raise, or should I presume one is coming?

Hi all hope your well, I’m a junior early in my career, in the last year I’ve been working as contractor subcontracted as a professional services consultant for a Fintech firm where I’ve taken responsibilities in Project management and working as a part of the delivery team, as well as studying/holding a prince 2 foundation certificate.

AITA. I was hired in 2019 by an individual to handle her wrongful termination case on an hourly fee basis. I usually work on contingency but this client made about 35k/yr and found a new job for less money right after she was fired. After paying around 17k in attorney’s fees she runs out of money and pays me 500 every few months but even that eventually stops. We end up winning a jury trial and appeal. My fees are more than the judgement. AITA for taking the full judgement to cover my fees?

Hey Everyone.
Applied through the GS jobs portal on 10/5 for the early careers program in SLC, one position in trade and transaction management, the other in client services/sales support.
Heard back through the recruiter on 10/8 and just got my HireVue last night (10/13) and completed it today 10/14. Both of the positions are currently saying “Resume Under Review”

Any insight to this at all? How long it’s taken to get a super day invite back? How soon after did you get a rejection or offer?
