Am I (half white, half Asian) ever considered diverse?
Just wondering if you guys know of any firms out there in any subsector of finance that would consider me a diverse applicant. I always put down "two or more races" when I apply.

oof
Are you first-generation, a woman, or LGBTQ? Not all banks have first-generation programs, but a good number of them do.
Let me guess... Mom is asian and Dad is white?
You're as "diverse" as Elizabeth Warren is a Native American.
Yes, don't think I'm quite as bad as her though :(
Nobody is as bad as Elizabeth Warren
As a fellow wasian, unfortunately we do not. I guess combining two majorities in finance doesn’t make you a minority lol
