Yikes, I was offered an interview for a nonprofit’s legal counsel position. Checked out the org website and I see that staff, leadership, and board of directors are all white. Like zero POCs. Should I even bother?

I think it depends on your mental stamina to have to field questions and essentially be “the first.” There’s a lot of pressure with that position but depending on your circumstance it can be the right fit. Wishing you the best of luck!

It depends. It’s more of a question where you’d evaluate whether DEI is important to you and if so, how important.

You should go and ask questions about their diversity plans, both within the organization and their programmatic offerings. That will tell you everything you need to know.

Relatively early in my career trying to find the right career path. I have aspirations (like many) to join the executive leadership team, EVP/C-Suite.

Do I need to switch to Product Management to succeed in banking and join the executive staff, or is it possible to jump to leadership from a data role?
