Yet another town hall where all we hear about is hiring more senior leaders vs promoting talent from within (especially women of color)…

Anyone else frustrated with the lack of follow through from potential employers? I have had two companies undercut my ability to have an equal chance to compete for a role. One company kept telling me a second interview would happen in a few weeks. Nothing for 3 months even with my check ins. To just find out the role was filled. Another company flat out said they couldn’t find my application (in their system where it was attached to job req number) and filled the role.

Hey folks

I have my stack as a Java developer with Springboot profile for 3 YoE. I had recently joined a company and faked my resume to look like a data analytics one. My hiring manager said it looks good for Python and SQL+ETL but he wants me to do python scripting questions in the client interview which I am not much aware of. So need your help guys on how and what to prepare for client interview side.

Hi Fishes,

My questions is, will there be any onsite opportunities if i get into projects / account other then from Indian Clients@ ??

I think we’re seeing all these posts because LinkedIn “training” is telling people that they should post 3 types of content rotating.

1. Something about your company/product
2. Something about the broader industry you’re in
3. Something personal to you that is still somehow related to your job/industry

I’ve never posted the third type but I’m not a LinkedIn “influencer”

Planning to invite parents to US for a few months in October. What insurance options do you all buy? Last time they purchased from India - not sure if the US hospitals honor those policies. I feel it’s important to have a good one especially during these times.

Fiancé and I are thinking about taking our honeymoon in South Africa. Any thoughts, suggestions, or tips from the glumoja??

Hi Everyone!

Not that I am planning to relocate anytime soon but wanted to have your thoughts on which country you think is a safer option to relocate to?
Earlier I was interested to move somewhere in Europe but with the whole Russia and Ukraine situation and now possibility of Sweden and Finland joining NATO and Russia telling them not to, I don't think Europe might be a good option in the coming years.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

What is an online MBA program you would recommend?

Left public accounting this year after 5+ years and looking for 10-20 hours of flexible & remote accounting/auditing/etc. type work. Message me if you have any opportunities that may fit this description. I would love to help a small business, but am open to anything fitting my vague guidelines.

Investors, how much do you put into your STocks ISA each month, how much do you have and what do you use to evaluate where to allocate funds? Any good websites or materials?

Anyone received Sodexo amount credited in your account for this month??? Still I didn't get the Sodexo amount

Any new onboarding in capG? When will they send laptop ? Any joining goodies 🤔 will we be asked to come to office for onboarding ?

Travelling to NYC in November for the first time and there's a reasonably priced airbnb in Central Harlem. Is that a safe area for 4 females to roam around late at night? I also read on Reddit that short term rentals in NYC are illegal...? Is that true? Should I avoid Airbnbs?

What’s something that you wish you’d been taught / told about the design world ahead of time? (Either as just a piece of advice or insight or if there was a whole class / lecture about XYZ)

Anyone tried the new Sanctions Certificate (CGSS) offered by ACAMS? Trying to see how difficult it is considering I don't have a lot of experience with sanctions compliance. I have CAMS & work in AML

At what point in your career at BCW do you start getting bonuses? How do you qualify?

Hey BCW 🐡🐠🐟!

Just joined from Edelman, looking forward to meeting and chatting and working with you.

European/German here, where are you located?

Is anyone wearing a costume to the Halloween party? New to BCW and don’t want to look silly!

When will mental health become a priority here? You give us this autonomy worksheet yet none of the prac leads respect this.

🎉 Congrats to all who were promoted!

Thoughts on this Town Hall?

US - how did those eligible do this cycle?

Thoughts on BCW’s COVID response (both internally and with clients)...go!

US / New York folks - anyone here?

Why are all of our leaders leaving? Just heard about another C-Suite departure.

I hope someone at BCW is monitoring this bowl. There are some pretty clear issues going on at the agency, particularly around burnout and compensation.

Forget the ‘above the line’ mantra and fix the issues right in front of you.

What’s the latest on promotions? Chicago market keeps getting the run around.

Noticed the conversations stopped as soon as raises were approved. Is a 2% increase enough to stop discussion around these systemic issues?

Anyone know if the NY office is going to get a face lift soon? It’s so old school and not very collaborative (or pretty) - jeallllous of all those offices I’m seeing that pull in some serious design!

What are ways to get more vacation time?

I’m feeling a little suffocated with the standard two weeks with all my family events this year.

Does BCW not allow conservatives to be employed at this company? I’m sitting through another meeting where we are highlighting amazing women and it is so politicized I am completely offended. AOC, Biden, Ilhan, Hilary... I mean at try to be inclusive when speaking of diversity. You can’t name a single female in the Conservative party throughout history?
