Does Asian gay male count as diversity?

I know that asian men have it the worst when it comes to recruiting.

I’m an international Asian male contemplating on whether to pursue mba for associate position in BB IBD in the US, and was wondering if chances marginally improve if I’m gay?

I have leadership positions in lgbt organizations & am involved in an lgbt chapter at my firm. Also attended O4U in college

Thanks

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“Very patient in explanation and was very good at walking me through some of the concepts without giving anything away. Great job breaking up the material and asking questions outside of the 400 guide which really tested my knowledge on some of the more basic concepts I thought I had a good understanding of, but might need to learn a little more. Will continue to schedule Consatantin as I thought the overall ease of the scheduling was nice, and he was more that available to go over the origonal time we had planned out.”

Investment Banking 7 Stories Review

“Michael was a huge help getting me ready for my Lazard HireVue. I came in with a lot of good material but my answers were running long and I kept rambling through my stories. He walked me through each one and helped me cut them down so they were concise and hit the main points without losing what makes them mine. He was honest about what was not working and gave me clear ways to fix it instead of just general advice. I left the call feeling way more confident and organized going into the interview. I would definitely work with him again.”
