Yes! The stretching of "diversity” seems to be such a widespread symptom of this industry’s fear of addressing the uncomfortable realities of race within it. A distraction? Very “All Lives Matter” ...

I’ve noticed companies are starting to ask if you wish to identify if you’re LGBTQ+ when applying for jobs. When I’ve gone along with this I notice recruiters focus more on diversity and employee groups, and it’s making me feel like I’m being interviewed as a potential diversity hire, especially when I’ve received interviews from companies that are prone to boy’s club culture. I’m not really sure how I feel about this. Anyone else experience it or have thoughts?

Increasing seeing “lack of opportunities/uneven field” posts on LinkedIn for Women in DS. On a grand scale, do you think if this is indeed the case or not. Given its a new field, eneral entry level challenge should not be masqueraded as a gender issue. What do you guys have experienced or think?

DEI hires don’t address the issue. We know they are powerless positioned designed to give the impression of ‘doing something’ rather than grooming and promoting the diversity under your own roof. There’s a problem when your clients are more progressive and demanding of change than you are, agencies.

Contriversal topic but here it goes: I’m in-house a F100 and happen to be a white male (although I do have a fairly severe “invisible” disability). Progression to a management level attorney is quite difficult despite the relatively large. Recently the company announced DEI initiative that includes targets and goals for women and people of color (not applicable to other minorities). I absolutely want more diversity in our law department - I’ve taken steps to help ensure that there is - but…

On a working group & looking for suggestions - What does your firm do regarding diversity and inclusion?

How much do Diversity and Inclusion Directors make in big law? What about other management positions in "big law"? Thoughts on switching to something in management from associate/partner? Has anyone made this move? Any insight appreciated!

Anyone else catch that awkward moment at 3% Conference on Friday when VML was like, “oh yeah we try to hire diversity but we have offices in the Midwest and they have to be willing to move.”...?

Hi everyone! The Agency DEI Database just launched to standardize diversity data and measure progress. Help us spread the word? 🙏 @agencyDEI on LI and IG

Firms often share the number of employees by gender or ethnicity tagging diversity goals. Have they shared the average pay by level by gender or ethnicity? This would help provide transparency into the pay gap.

What does diversity mean to you? And how does it factor into your job search? Asking for a friend.

India, one of the potentially most diverse diaspora on the planet, is currently moving away from principles of diversity and inclusion.
Change my mind...

Anyone know of mission driven organizations/companies that have a strong commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion that are hiring in the area?

Thought: When you see diversity of skin color as the most critical factor you miss out of diversity of experience and ideas. Quite often these overlap, but there are a lot of people out there like JD Vance who come from poor white roots, but because of their skin color they’re assumed to have some magical privilege bestowed upon them by society.

Likewise, wealthy people of color are lumped in with their less affluent counterparts. We’re so quick to look at skin color and see the sum (cont’d)

On my current case, I feel like I’m part of a boys’ club. All my peers are 22-24 years guys and my manager is a 36 y/o man. I’m 29F. I’m not sure if it’s the gender or age that I don’t fit into here (or something else), but I constantly feel left out. Basically never get a chance to share my opinions because these men overpower the discussion. I’m more so concerned about the impression it creates that I have nothing to contribute. Anyone dealt with this?

State how many people have you slept with and your age/gender.

Would anyone be willing to share what your company is doing to find talent with disabilities or improve their disability inclusion practices?

Ladies - are there any differences in your execution when needing to manage up/down due to gender? (E.g male seniors, or male juniors). Anything that’s worked well for you such as a framework or tool? Thanks in advance! ☺️

Don't fall in love with a company because they can't love you back. Make your money, get your experience and keep it moving.

Left EY and starting at Deloitte next month, any advice?

How do we think companies are going to react to the use of global or offshoring with the new presidency? I think its going to be a hurdle more so than in the past.
