Just do it. You don’t have to tell any of your friends and you don’t have to have ur resume say you’re gay. Bankers won’t disclose this with other people so it’s really between you and the banker knowing you’re diversity

 

What the fuck lol? No, recruiting through a diversity channel will not be looked down upon or hurt your chances in PE. Not only that, there is no way for people to find out you went through diversity recruiting unless you tell them. Also, I'm assuming you're a current freshman? Yeah, you wanna take advantage of all the programs you can. Recruitment is unforgiving.

not taken seriously by my peers

If this were to actually happen, they're likey not people you want to care about anyway. And to help alleviate more of your worries, no one will find it. Not only that, no one should care. There have been other threads on similar topics, but just recruit, do good work, and people will appreciate that.

Don't recruit as diversity. There's already enough unqualified and incompetent people taking spots through that avenue. Hit me with the MS, but I have seen girls, LGBTQ, and minorities in my school that have gotten spots at top shops despite being completely incompetent. I think there are obviously some diversity that could still get offers as a non-diversity candidate, but a good portion of them wouldn't be able to. 

 

I'm not saying you are specifically. I don't know you, so I can't speak on your behalf. You very well might be qualified. If you're qualified though, you'd be able to place as a non-diversity candidate without needing a diversity crutch. But you should take advantage of all diversity programs because you'd be stupid not to. Sometimes I wish I just made up being gay or transgender to get an easy leg up, but I can't do it. 

 

Because I hurt your feelings? Recently received an offer but didn't update the icon. Don't have to prove shit to you. Love how anytime anyone says something that bursts people's bubbles and expresses a sentiment that a lot of people think but don't say, there's always someone like you who will say my beliefs are the cause for all my problems. It's preposterous.

 

I wouldn't worry too much. Remember Americans are obsessed with race and diversity and everything so if anything, this will just work in your favor. Regarding secrecy, it's incredibly illegal to reveal that type of data.

 

Jesus... Look, recruit for diversity. Your life is hard as a bi person from a Muslim family, might as well squeeze that tiiiiny bit of utility from it, right? 

 

echoing what others have said, but would like to say, since anyone could identify as lgbt+, it sometimes takes involvement in your school's queer business society or lgbt+ rights activsm/organization for your application to be flagged as a lgbt+ candidate
