Do alpha males have a harder time breaking into IB than most?

I feel like today's society particularly shuns alpha males such as me from really achieving their full potential. I know careers in medicine don't really allow alphas to shine, and on the off chance they do, they turn out to do extraordinary things (such as Ben Carson). Is IB this way? I can tell the guys at the top such as Jamie Dimon are literally the purest alpha composite that humans can be, but idk how true that is for the people at the bottom
