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

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

My heart really goes out for the women in Pakistan, the amount of harassment they face on daily basis. I wonder why that is, is the root cause the extreme level of gender segregation.

Based on your experiences, what are 1 or 2 traits that a company/ leadership has that allows diversity to be celebrated & encouraged. How does this affect employees (Black/non-Black) in & out of work?

I’ve been moved from 4th grade inclusion to 3rd grade to 3rd grade inclusion since starting my teaching career. I feel tossed around. Any one else?

Is it just me or does it seem like teams with high diversity function the best and have the most creative work? Whenever I've worked with ie POC and fellow gay people, the work has always been stellar

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?

I recently saw a job opening at a company that I really love, and would like to apply. The recruiter has posted it on her Linkedin several times, each time with multiple hashtags about diversity. I am straight off the Mayflower white. Does applying look super tone-deaf? Is this an unofficial way of stating that they’re only considering non-white individuals for the role?

Searching for new ways to increase our inclusion efforts with our ESL team members. What is your organization doing? Any new and innovative ideas? TIA

Diversity quota is real: both for B-School admissions/scholarships and MBB recruiting.

Readers be warned. Your skills don’t matter as much as you think.

That 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.

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.

Is anyone wondering what life will really be like for all the new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion executives that many companies are hiring and bragging about now? I wonder how much power they will actually have to effect change. I wonder how long the trend will last.

any advice on resources/connections to identify transferable skills after spending 20 years in media strategy/planning & recently client operations? ideally want to get out of hamster wheel ad agency world and into more meaningful areas like non-profit organizations, hiring diversity initiatives, etc. Open to taking pay/title/role step back if needed

Hi all! I’ve been dating my bf for about 4 months now and there are some things he says/is into that make me believe he is either Bisexual or has gender dysphoria. I could really use someone’s advice who has a similar experience like this. Is anyone willing to chat? I just want to be supportive and helpful.

Looking to move to London. What’s the salary range for a manager in Transfer Pricing in the Big 4 / mid tier firms?

Newly promoted manager last year if that helps.
Please can you include your gender, YOE as manager, and firm? Thanks!

I have submitted the BGV details on the link shared by HR.
When can I expect the salary discussion with HRs?
Are they really listen about the salary we are asking.
How long will it take to get the offer letter from now?

Any one recently joined Indeed? Want to know if Indeed asked for a reliving/experience letter from the previous employer. I am joining Indeed in July. I am going through a rough patch with my current employer, ever since I put in my notice 🤦‍♂️ Its got to the point of them threatening to not provide a experience/reliving letter…
I can provide references and recommendations. Before leaving, I just want to ensure that I am equipping my successor to take care of my product and build it further…

Hi! Hi! I hope you are good :) I am looking for marketing manager referrals, would you help me?

I keep hearing that Booth’s MBA program is rigorous (maybe the most rigorous out of M7). That said, how much more work are students expected to do compared to HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, etc.? I don’t know if this is an outdated opinion, considering a lot of MBAs are very demanding. Booth is personally my top choice for having a flexible curriculum & 2-3 days of classes. But I really want to know what to expect around the “rigorous” label. Does it mean I’ll be buried in coursework the other 2-3 days?

I have an offer of 15 Lpa from Nagarro and expecting one from Capgemini around 18-19 maybe with joining bonus as the offer letter is not yet released. Really confused which one to join as Nagarro has a pros of work from anywhere while Capgemini will work on hybrid model. Can anyone please help me in giving some insights .

When asked,do you disclose your current rate in an interview? Are you required to provide evidence? What is the norm? Thanks!!!

Interested in a Solutions engineer role at DocuSign and ServiceNow. Would anyone at either company be open to chatting and potentially referring?

Writing a report for the first time and feel way in over my head. Team didn’t discuss what adjustments we want as a group before divvying up—new transfers what has been your experience?

Hello All, Need a career advice

Is MBB and management consulting losing its value among young people as employer? Since i noticed majority of young people currently want to work for FAANG, startups, crypto, Unicorns, want to open their own things, etc. I guess in 2000s and 2010s consulting was a top choice for graduates. But what about now? Would love to listen to your thoughts and observations on that one

Overheard: “We’re paid a ton to crush it at work, get wasted, wake up, work out, and crush work again, but while hungover. We’re basically like pro athletes”
