If I was white, I would definitely put my photo on my resume. But I'm not.
I'm a senior executive with impeccable credentials: top 1 bank, top 3 engineering school, ivy league undergrad, executive at Series A firm. top notch names on my resume.
Except on LinkedIn, the majority of inbounds i get are recruiters trying to get me to join in as entry level. I'm not speaking about mass-mailings, i'm speaking about entire screening conversations where they are telling me about this "promising" entry level role. Occasionally, i'll get a good recruiter pitching me a VP or CTO role (as I would expect) but these are rare.
My white friends say they are constantly pitched with VP and Director roles.
