Want to leave consulting to create a start up, but terrified of the pay cut as I have the steady paycheck. Only have about 15k in savings so far.

You ever just sit in a team meeting and realize you don’t relate to anyone in your job anymore. The small talk, the corny jokes all seem uninteresting and you just want to get your money and go home.

And don’t say look for another job because I’ve been actively looking for a year now 🥲

Food for thought: the US is actually one of the most racially conscious places I’ve ever lived. Not saying we don’t have a LONG way to go and that there isn’t immediate important work needed.
But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible. Keep in mind this is just my experience and may not represent others- however, in many of the other places I’ve lived or traveled to, racism is almost tacitly accepted. You wouldn’t have people calling out taxi drivers for ignorance for example
