Only reason i cant leave is because of brexit, I'm currently researching certs I want planning to get something expensed through my job before i leave
What if the job is 100% remote? Would that still stop you from working in another country?

OK so I just looked into this group on Blacks in Technology group and I've noticed a number of cacs who are a part of it.

Of course I'm not a founder of the group and whatever rules they have are not up to me, but personally I wouldn't even think to join a group for any other races because we all know nobody wants us to be a part of their stuff when it's made for them exclusively, plus I don't see how it would benefit me in any way. I don't think as a black person I'd even be welcome.

I'm just wondering if at the very least, these cacs are opening doors for black professionals or they're just in the group to be in our business, because I don't know why a cac would look at a black group whose objective states....

Blacks In Technology is a professional platform for BLACK people in technology. BIT serves to increase the representation and participation of Black people in tech through community, media, mentorship, and stewardship. Blacks In Technology (BIT) is "Stomping the Divide" by establishing a blueprint of world class technical excellence and innovation by providing resources, guidance and issuing a challenge to our members to surpass the high mark and establish new standards of global innovation.

....
and want to be a part of it. It's like when we establish something, we have to include everybody else.

It would just be nice to have something for ourselves. I'm not saying this to talk down on the group, but I just can't help but feel some type of way. :francis:

Basically. Cacs are nosy as fukk. If they can't control what we do they feel like they gotta be a part of it.

I bet those cacs ain't doing nothing to tackle the racism black folk face in silicon valley though.

I would think companies would let you work in your home country remotely. I'm seeing companies in the US hiring people and letting them work 100% remote from other states.

They hit me back about the other role where they originally offered $82k + bonus and come up to $90k + $5k bonus. I accepted and just waiting on the paper work. This role doesn’t appear to be particularly technical, but the company seems nice and benefits are good. I could start as soon as 12/14 if all goes well. *knock on wood*

I have a phone call for a “Data Insights Manager” tomorrow morning, remote role and the description looks like something I want as well. Trying to work boffum if it comes to it :manny:

Recently got the email from Finance that bonuses are getting paid next week :ahh: I don't even have anything on my radar post-Black Friday, but I'll squirrel some more money away for the time being.



I've got about two months until busy season hits for my job. I have some minor deliverables this week, but until February hits, I should have time to schedule myself some learning sessions for Power BI (again). Learning on company-time without feeling guilty is the makings of a great work day

:heh: nothing panned out. Last week was crazy and this one starting off the same. Falling back until the new year.

Good luck to everyone searching! I’m praying for everyone maintaining or bossing up to continue on a positive path and hopefully the rest of the year will remain steady. :salute:
