Welcome new members!

What does DEI mean to you?

Let's discuss.

Is anyone looking to exit corporate life altogether? Trying to balance the emotional gut punch of taking a massive pay cut with the benefits of being able to live a life that is not dictated by the demands of my job.

Have any of you moved to PE for a slight pay decrease from the crazy banking comps last year?

Is Integration Engineer position at Zoom worth joining coming from Software Engineer position?

I'm thinking about starting something, but I want to be well versed in entrepreneurship before I do. Any recommended resources (websites, podcasts, books, etc.)? Thanks!

If your an experienced staff or senior with hedge- fund experience and want to move to Dallas, DM me to discuss discretely. Honestly great team. Turnover has been low for last 18 months at 10%. Compared to 40-50% in other places. Crazy hours feb-apr, 40 apr-jul, 45 in Aug, maybe 50-60 that last week of aug/ early sept. <40 post 9/15. We have a need at the senior level to fill a gap. Seniors help is needed everywhere so if your interested, come cash in your chips!

Justice for Botham! Dallas cop convicted in wrongful apartment killing of innocent man.

I am in the process of finishing up my MBA but considering also getting my SPHR or PHR cert. Is it even worth it or a waste of time and money?

Anyone going to the “all about downtown” festival tomorrow?!

Does A&M have Marriott and Hertz discount codes?

Does anyone have tips regarding attending social events, such as happy hours with coworkers and express that drinking isn’t my preference?
With me being the only one on my team who doesn’t drink, it causes me to stick out, and others constantly question why I’m not drinking.
It kind of deters me from attending work events, but I know there’s a lot of benefitting in being around.

How do you get “distinctive achievement”?

What’s your utilization right now?

Hi All, I want to upgrade my skills/knowledge in Payroll/Comp & Benefits area. Can anyone suggest good online course for the same. That would be really helpful. Thanks 🙏🙏

What would be considered great operating exit ops at startups coming from VC?

I have a GSA, but we accept any student who finds themselves on the fringes. We all know that LGBTQIA students are often marginalized, but my kids are loud and proud. Our mission statement is “To give all students a safe place.” I am very proud of my GSA kids.

Hey new members! Welcome 🤗. How do you get into DEI? Share your experience.

Got written up by my admin for sending a PSA to teachers to call a trans student by their correct name and pronouns. Says I “didn’t follow the chain of command for Title IX issues.” For context I teach in the south and my admin says they legally “don’t recognize transgenders.” Any advice?

Does anyone have any experiences they feel comfortable sharing where DEI was an integral part of the company instead of an after thought/"trending" initiative?

Anyone in a DEI role for a Big Law firm and willing to share their salary?

Does anyone have tips on preparing for DEI interviews? I have looked at DEI behavioral questions online. Not sure what else I can do.

Thank you for your help!

Welcome all! Feel free to share best practices and engage in DEI discourse.

Could use some help with an awkward dynamic.

My Dept has been tapped to help another dept promote a DEI study. The client dept has hired a consultant in this area. The challenges I see with this consultant's work style:

-dominating conversations
-micromanaging things outside her area
-steering things toward her own promotion over our company's agenda
-people in my dept (mostly white) are visibly uncomfortable and reluctant to interrupt or contradict her (black woman)
