Does McKinsey Connect lead to early interviews?

Diversity in European Masters
Okay fellow monkeys, here's this doubt. I've seen multiple target and top European MiF programs such as HEC, RSM and most British schools, that have this Diversity Bonus let's say, in which they kind of want to go full multicultural and have people from very rare or different countries so they can...

My Thoughts On Diversity
If diversity was working for me I would support it, but its not unfortunately.So I'm diversity with a almost perfect GPA and work experience that you would expect from a sophomore halfway thru the year (student-fund, some small things here and there). I applied to a lot of diversity programs but...
Latino but not Hispanic: Should I Apply as Diversity Student?
For reference, I'm a white male at a target school mostly doing the things needed for the upcoming 2024 SA recruiting cycle. When speaking with a Director at a mid tier BB, she said (in a nicer way) I have almost no chance at her bank applying with my demographics. This brought me thinking to the...

Race/Ethnicities Factors in Recruiting?
Hey guys, I was wondering how my race/ethnicity would affect me in the process of recruiting. My parents are both mixed (genetically and ethnically), so I am, too.

First Generation College Student Diversity Programs
Hey everyone, Does anyone know of any firms that have programs for first generation college students? Almost every single program I've found has excluded first generation or low-income students. Are there any programs I'm missing? I've gotten into a Capital One program, but that's about all I've...
Diversity
Just wondering how people generally feel about diversity. I realize it's a sore subject for some, but I think it would be interesting to see how diversity in the workplace has impacted your career. Have you benefited from your race, gender, etc? Have you ever felt like someone at your firm was...

Lie My Way to Diversity??
Hello Monkeys, Seeing the latest post about a guy being hit on because he lied and self-identified as a member of the LGBTQ+ community got me thinking.

Women's Networking in HF Industry
Gender diversity seems to be pretty low in the HF business and there doesn't seem to be a HF/public equities focused women's networking group (closest is Synergist Network geared towards PE).

Diversity Hiring
I was just wondering if people of Indian origin count as diversity hires? And what really is stopping someone to say they are Hispanic if they are ethnic?

Pride Flag in Virtual Work Background?
I'll be starting my summer internship at an EB this summer. My background may have a pride flag and I'm thinking of taking it down for the summer to keep things "professional."

ASIAN MALES have it the wost in Finance
A lot of my east asian male colleagues think that the finance world is unfair to them. On one hand they don't get that "white advantage", on the other hand, to reach diversity targets, firms try to hire more women. Is it true less qualified women get the IBD, HF, PE positions just cause they are...

Do Asian Females Count as Diversity
I know that some PE firms prioritize hiring female candidates due to having smaller representation from this demographic.

Or does connecting with...
