When a job posting on LinkedIn includes hashtag MAIP, does that mean do not apply if you are white? I don’t mean to be insensitive about this. Trying to find work and I want to understand if these roles are being flagged for diverse candidates and I’d be wasting my time applying. I know when a company says recent grads that I shouldn’t bother as an older candidate.

I’m a former MAIPer and I’ve never seen that on any position above an intern. Typically there’s a different owned hashtag used for MAIP posts. I’d assume the posters are more so targeting the MAIP alumni pool. It’s a pretty big, and socially-engaged network.

That makes sense that they want their alumni seeing the posts!

I would imagine, if they are putting that hashtag on a post, they will be prioritizing non-white candidates. They might not dismiss your application, but I would assume they have a profile in mind for who they are looking to hire. That demo they highlight is probably not reflected in their team currently and they are trying to adjust. I would focus your energy elsewhere, personally. Good luck!

If they include it on every job post for the company, are they just signaling an overall message of diversity? Or should I not bother applying at that company right now until they fix whatever issues they are having?

I’m an MAIP alumni, to me it means they want a diverse selection of candidates. You can and should apply.

I had to Google MAIP. Multicultural Advertising Intern Program, right?

If you’re an older candidate, are you actually considering internships?

I see this hashtag on senior roles.

Hey guys! Currently in WM ops at Morgan Stanley for the past 1 year dealing with alternative lending, I’m super underpaid with 3 years of experience which is very frustrating. (73k). Have been at Morgan for 1 year and looking to come over to JPM for an ideal pay bump, but would like to get into IB type roll. Any insight on what I should expect or how to go about applying? Maybe even getting referred? I have a deep knowledge of investments and always felt inclined to go down this route.
