White women make up over 90% of DEI hires. White folks had us all believe DEI was only for black people. That is the big CON.

The question on if there would be any DEI changes was asked on the home page for the BDO internal site on Sunday. Lots of thumbs up, but no answer yet.

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up). The problem is that they’re looking to staff me as a Senior when I’m currently a Manager at DT. They said they’re flexible on title, but curious to hear how others have navigated similar situations. I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

Why is it some companies make you reapply to a role when you’re towards the end of the interview process?
