    I sincerely do not know, but personally have diversity in their GR team could be a good step. Having someone who could actually understand the experiences and the journey of minorities in this country could be a good step. Organising events which allow the seniors to actually getting an...

    I guess that have a plan B in life is the only solution. But again, is it possible that for various reasons black people do not appear on the firm's site?

    @Andrew M did not mean to offend. But this is also personal because I want to be seen and respected. It is a tricky situation, you can only know about a firm if you experience it and @LegalLily outlined a very revealing experience although not personal. The problem is, what are you going to do...

    Also why do we always need to be the change? why do I always teach you how to not discriminate me? The conversation and the answers are really interesting and show that we still have a long way to equality.

    Same, there are firms out there that I like a lot. But then I go visit their website and LinkedIn page and ZERO Black African people at all levels. It really upsets me and I ask myself, is it possible that no black candidate was good enough to work for you? I am not against white people, I grew...

    I think it is also an age factor. Younger candidate are attracted to money and prestige. They don’t consider the tax or other factors. Getting older, going through therapy and getting engaged really made me reevaluate my choices. I love the life I had and I want to give what I had to my kids...
