We are working on a new deck template for my firm. I took a look yesterday and saw that all the pictures included were of white people. I’m a WOC and I asked the person in charge (white) to either replace people with landscapes to make it people agnostic or add inclusive pictures. She straight up refused to change them and said people can change them as needed for clients. To me, it is really about diversity and inclusion and I want to take to her manager. Am I making a bigger deal than it is?

Out of curiosity, is it better to work at a firm with diversity issues but more resources & perks than a diverse firm with limited resources?

What do you think: Teachers should/should not discuss their opinions and ideas around sexuality, gender, and religion with students.

How do you respond to comments like “we just hire the best person of the job, regardless of race or gender”?

Why are town Hall meetings so impersonal? They are all about awards / the number of people hired. I know FCB health is large, but we never hear from people who aren’t Executives. Last town hall, when discussing inclusion efforts, there were no people of color represented and one of the 4 pillars of diversity was centered around our “reputation as an organization” (that really rubbed me the wrong way). At my last agency those conversations were always led by people of color from every level.

What's the most effective or interesting initiative you've seen at your company for diversity and inclusion?

Do you ever feel like you were a "diversity hire"? Have you ever thought your coworkers thought of you as such? This is an insecurity I battle all the time.

How do we encourage our agencies to hire based on potential, not experience? Everyone wants diversity but everyone wants cookie cutter award-winning creatives too, which often don't necessarily match

Thanks for doing this Paul! I'm pretty interested in data on this. Do some states have teachers w/ more student loans than others? Is there a gender gap?

Any Favorite D&I buzzwords and phrases? Mine is diversity of thought.

It's really pathetic to see guys getting desperate on this bowl and due to such guys all of us get labelled creeps. I can understand you guys are not getting any due to the skewed gender ratio but please maintain some dignity. I am sure if the gender ratio was skewed in reverse then women won't be behaving in such a desperate manner and would rather stay single. My request to all guys is please have some self respect because this desperation won't lead you anywhere

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..

Have competing offers from EY and KPMG UK Economic advisory teams( Manager/Snr Exec level). KPMG's UK technical rep and comp offer is better, but the hours appear longer. EY UK Director has had several calls selling culture (diversity and work life balance). Is there actually a substantive emphasis on this by EY? Or are 50+ hour weeks quite common? I suspect it's going to be quite team dependent/ project dependent, and therefore a gamble in any case. Thanks for any perspectives.

Any recommended resources on how to create a playbook? I know the specific clauses/fallback positions will be company specific but I am not sure where to start as far as a good document format or framework to work from.

Is it a bad time to switch jobs? Seems a recession is impending and layoffs are usually LIFO. Considering coming back to consulting but have heard benches are getting larger and I’m beginning to double think.

Considering PM recruiting and am considering: 1. What level do people come in at as a PM at each of Google/FB/AMZN/Netflix with 2 YOE at MBB post undergrad? 2. Is there a single resource that describes the level of technical knowledge (High / Med / Low) needed for the role across each of the FAANG companies? I’ve seen some of this info piecemealed across FB threads but would love to have it in one place

Few weeks ago I did the final round for a Sales Strategy and Operations role but didn't get the offer. Was told by my recruiter that I only have to do the RRK for all future interviews since the other interviews went very well and I would be targeted for L4 placement. I'm interviewing for a new role in Sales Stratops - would it be reasonable to ask for 200k TC (130k base, 15% bonus, 50-60k in RSUs) Current TC: 160k YoE: 4.5

Hello EY fishes! New investor here😃. How do you invest in index funds or mutual funds? Considering all restrictions we have? Is there any services available to us or should we hand pick stocks ourselves (to avoid independence issues?) .

Can anyone currently in Biglaw discuss what hiring this summer is looking like for 2L summers for next year. From what I understand the transactional market has slowed a ton, but simultaneously a bunch of attorneys have quit over the past couple of years, so it is not clear how active the hiring market will be.

What are some publications, books, podcasts, online classes etc that can help me prepare for my first year in consulting? Have 5 years of experience in finance and making the jump to consulting.

Do connections/referrals help if you suck at interviews? Have a director I used to work with refer me to his current firm. I SUCK at interviewing but I'm a good worker. Idk how consulting works but will the good rep save me? I've had multiple people talk highly of me/vouch for me, I just turn into a potato when it's an official interview.

I see more responses from recruiters after switching to - not actively looking for change. Linkedin works like a mystery!

Would it be in bad taste if I were to bring up my teammate’s salary when trying to negotiate a salary raise? He has a similar title as me, but my manager doesn’t know his salary. Would it be a bad move if I told him that I want the same pay as my teammate?

How do I work less and make more money
