Just as an FYI ppls risk tolerance stays pretty much the same throughout some1s life so if they don’t take risks now they won’t take risks in the

Yes… I work at a Fortune 500 and every time I mention to my parents that I am looking around for a new job they tell me I already have a great one.

We don’t have to live in survival mode anymore like our parents did. We can take chances and fail and rise back up.

I'm a first gen immigrant but I am so so lucky that my mom encourages me to take risks! I know not all brown parents do!

I get asked often why I don't work in larger tech firms. I like building companies more than maintaining them : )

This makes so much sense tbh. I settled with my degree and my first few jobs and I’m still kind of settling but comfortable for now.

Roshni :
POC or not, were they rich kids? If it took a few months to find a better offer, were their parents supporting them? Would they have student loan 1/2

I had the same experience when telling my family that I was leaving Amazon.

I am curious if this is more of a first gen conversation than poc, as the pressure to settle for lower pay, benefits, etc - is more of a trend there

I settle for security because if I gamble and loose I have nothing to fall back on. My parents can’t help me.

I feel it. I feel like as a first gen, sometimes you don’t have the luxury of time to keep looking for another job

I think it’s more fair to use term “first gen immigrants” not just POC

Darby Darcy Daisy :
I'm the oldest daughter of a 1st Gen immigrant family and my whole family relies on my wage to an extent, so I can't afford to gamble my job away.

yeah, It's that scarcity mindset growing up as immigrants / low income; take what you can bc you don't have a safety net.

I don’t think this is a POC thing really just think it’s a wealth inequality thing

This is such a truth - well I get my job at one of the big 4 banks, it was a big deal and I never questions it because of the name.

POC/women are typically treated by yt male superiors as being lucky to even have this opportunity. we are looked as less than in society/work force.

That’s me currently trying to pivot into a new industry. what you said- i am capable but scared to lose what is a stable job.

BAMFancy :
I completely agree! Risking in our parents eyes is a no no but that’s why I stopped asking my parents for career advice.

100% Felt like the biggest risk of my life was moving from a stable job to a FAANG company. Was worth it, but totally understand as a latino.

This is so true, my mom is always telling me to stay at jobs because it’s “safe”. But I’m trying to get better roles.

The fact that we’re made to feel like a good opportunity is the best we’re going to get is wild. 🥺 I’m trying to unlearn that mindset.
