Lack of black talent on the creative side. Not kidding when I say I’m one of around 10 creatives that have made it to SVP as a creative. We have so much to offer and give, and a I know too many people of color that have hit a glass ceiling and decided to leave the industry to go freelance. I could riddle names off at the drop of a bat, of black people I know that should be ECD’s and CCO’s.

We belong here!

If I succeed, we succeed but I’d I’m not reaching back to help pull others up with me, than I am a failure.

So my challenge to other senior black leaders is to DO MORE, and fight to stay in the game so other people of color that are entering the field know that it is a space that they too can succeed in.

Hey fishes, completed 3 tech rounds at Bosch.
Last tech + managerial round was on 10th Nov. Got HR call on 17th Nov. Told my expected package and she didn't seem to have any issue.

Told my expected CTC and she seemed a bit surprised but didn't negotiate and asked if I have any other offers? I asked when can I expected the OL, she said within a week but didn't take any documents. Can I expect the OL?
