RIP DEI - Jan 20, 2025
Beckies (especially white) - polish your resumes and get in line at the Starbucks next door. Even in woke Canada, Papa JT won’t be able to save you.

MS on the post reflects how many freeloaders are feeling hurt
DEI bad. Now give me SB
Lol, the white beckies are the only ones that are safe. You think all these PE partners will let their daughters do marketing?
Got to keep the pressure up as I am aware they are the prime beneficiaries of DEI. In short, nepos disguised as DEI.
fr, white MD who is alum of my school has both his daughters in BB IB, now they will get in thru nepo spots rather than DEI
Nepo spots are 10% whereas before we had to put up with 50% gender quotas. Nice try Becky
Only losers complain about DEI. Real men make their money from day trading, no concerns about preferential treatment.
Woke trader spotted
Lol not woke. But am trader. Listen, if you don't have what it takes to make money for yourself and thus resort to being somebodies wage slave, you can't complain if you don't get picked for the team... What's the old saying again.. ah yes, beggers can't be choosers!
Wow, an actual Audi A4 driver in the wild. I’m spooked
...and all the complaining propsects are still ngmi

As a black man, I want to ask (if people are willing to be truthful):
Do you folks that hate DEI hate it for its positive impact on black folks? I'm guessing this is NOT the case but wanted to ascertain this. This comes from a geniune place of trying to be open minded to see where DEI hate comes from considering I'm a direct product of DEI, by being granted an opportuinity to succeed in a role in which I normally wouldn't be afforded the opportunity.
DEI not only changed the trajectory of my career, but also my family's life.
Issue for the large part is not racial DEI; only racists hate it. Factually, culprit is Gender DEI where almost 50% of seats are reserved for women in promotions / recruitment whereas they comprise of ~20% of the talent pool. However, disingenuous banks, lump all sorts of DEI initiatives together in annual reports to seek validation from govt / institutional investors and don’t highlight that main beneficiaries of such initiatives are women instead of black / hispanics. However, if you boil it down to numbers, the only diversity banks care about is hiring / promoting women, especially white. Blacks / Hispanics are just punching bags for incompetent racists who couldn’t get in but don’t want to hate their own kind aka white women.
Found the guy who got beat out by a chick lol
It’s likely a genuine mix of people;
a) wanting a pure meritocracy (so no separate processes for DEI qualifying candidates) and recruiting quotas as these are inherently unfair
I count myself here
b) racists
probably the comment that was deleted
The issue may be woman vs racial but I know people who would rather prefer a pure meritocracy. For me the issue is the blind uptiering of some groups over others. More fair is probably something like questbridge for college where they take into account your familial income, the academic level of your school, and have diversity done like that instead of rich minorities filling up DEI spots
DEI has been going on forever. Minorities have had preferential hiring treatment for 20 years now. It just hit the accelerator in the last 10+. Thank god it’s reversing.
As someone who has had to hire woefully unqualified people due to these policies, I’m quite anti-DEI. I’ve also heard horror stories from friends who played along, hired an unqualified person due to DEI initiatives. Then of course the hire had to be fired, claimed XYZ-ism and weaponized their minority status, dragged their bosses etc. nightmare.
If I was a qualified minority I’d be pissed because the DEI quotas just label you as such.
Unsure what you are whining about. The only minorities prioritized are women, black / Hispanics, and LGBTQ.
Largely similar experience and hard lesson to learn - you reap what you sow.
Yeah, and it would have been game-changing for some poor Vietnamese kid in Baltimore or poor white kid from the Appalachians too, that's who you stepped on
DEI is complete BS, the only metric that should matter beyond pure merit-based recruiting is class-based (i.e. income) support vs. racist race-based support
I wonder how will women in IB equate constructive feedback to misogyny as they no longer have DEI and HR karens to back them up. HR Karens’ should be the first ones shown the door
