At some point in the (very) near future, we'll all be forced to realize that the deck is stacked against you if you're black in America. It's just one of those inconvenient truths.

I was a technical sales manager at a fast growing ISP focused on selling T1, DS3 and "business grade" DSL. The money was good. It felt like we were on top of the world. Embarrassingly, looking back, the movie that best describes o

Interesting post from the comments ... "The FBI did not investigate writers according to their literary merits. As Kurt Vonnegut's biographer, I can tell you that, despite his publishing Slaughterhouse-Five— one of the most popula

If you were a thinking black or Native American in the USA, wouldn't you possibly feel the same hurt/ anger? He speaks for the voiceless. He wasn't advocating violence, nor was he a violent man himself, nor are his readers- a

The Chief Diversity Officer often operates in a silo and doesn't have the ability to impact things like hiring so yes, it can be a vanity/PR role if not implemented well.

Bottom line is this... At some point EARLY on, you're going to want to put some thought into casting a wider net for talent and wrapping your heads around the fact that people from different (age, gender, racial, ability, socioeconomic

Consider becoming a technical project manager. Among other things, a big part of your teams role would be to translate stuff the engineers are doing to other non technical people, departments or sometimes customers.

The salaries aren't high. It's just that you're getting screwed.

Depending on location, equity, industry, you probably should be making north of $200k.

Your depression and hatred of your current role is impacting your energy and the impression you're making on people. Perceptive people pick up on that, especially face to face. Change your outlook and also push for critical feedback wh

Putting some thought into culture helps you avoid problems down the line. First startup I worked for was fun. It was a frat house basically. Looking back, I cringe when I think about how shitty it must have been for the few women who decide

This answer will be ignored for the most part but you nailed it. As far as your last two sentences in your reply, I appreciate the honesty. The fact that the convo has elevated to this level of nuance and understanding indicates things are

Annualcreditreport.com doesn't do it on your behalf. It guides you through the steps with each CRA so that you can get your free annual report that the law gives you. It's the only "official" site other than each agencie

Also, take a look at the US Digital Services Playbook. Pretty impressive, right. The US Govt is stepping it's game up! I wish the administration would do a better job of touting these big steps on the right direction. Can't have i

For a long time, the popular belief in SV was that a lack of diversity actually helps an early stage startup. We've probably all heard the story about how Paypal rejected a candidate that aced his engineering tests because he said he &
