Why are non POC’s allowed to pivot in their careers in advertising and POC’s are barely given a chance?

It’s white privilege, OP, but you already know that.

Weird I’m pretty sure most agencies are trying to be that agency that hires POC. Maybe there aren’t enough going into the field? I mean i think there’s a lot of average looking white guys because those are the people that really needed to be “witty” as kids so that they would be considered cool. Not a lot of pro athletes or models dropping down into the ad game.

Can you give an example of what you mean by a pivot? Like change roles but stay in advertising? Or accounts? Or someone coming into advertising from a different industry?

What statistics and evidence do you have that POC are barely given a chance, let alone pivot, when I see linkedin posts every month showing POC starting their own business, balancing community organizing and their gig, as well as switch from account to creative.

Huh? Agencies are on a hiring frenzy right now for POC, at least in creative.

We are in a high cost of living city so will have to undergo a major lifestyle change if we forego my biglaw..
