so we can watch loser kids like you whine on the internet about it. there’s nothing more to it.
Maybe you didn't interview as well as you thought you did
Considering just using anecdotal data two of my three non-diverse friends who applied to PWP got a superday and an offer from a semi-target you probably didn't do as well as you thought.
If they liked you they would've taken you like all the other non-diverse people who received offers. Don't be a sore loser and whine.
I have two buddies, both non-core and non-diversity, that were able to snag interviews...one got a superday...you're not the hot shit you think you are.
Look man it’s nothing you can control. Also, it’s empirically proven the more you care about diversity, the worse candidate you are.
op here, look I get it prob didnt do that great but if u take 9/20 kids from diversity that really hurts non core kids like me
Lmao just do better
Didn't convert --> blame diversity lol. You should file a brief with the Supreme Court.
where do i sign?
I agree OP is complaining too much, but with the current make up of the court.......I wouldn't be surprised if it's banned for colleges via that Harvard case
Blame yourself for not being good enough
or blame the system for having 11 spots for 100000 non diversity kids
So what is your excuse for not being the one of the 11 to have a spot? Clearly they were good enough and didn't blame the system.
Bro every bank has more general spots than diversity spots. You're just a shitty candidate if you can't land anything
I don’t agree with OP, but this isn't a good argument. Affirmative action programs serve to make it easier (or else they wouldn't exist) which means candidates are not held to the same definition of "good enough." Should "good enough" be different for diversity candidates? That's a very complex issue that ultimately comes down to personal values and opinions.
The point is that you can't change the AA program and their metrics of selecting hires is useless to discuss so you can either step up and do better to secure an offer from another bank or loathe about not being a diversity hire.
At the end of the day, many of these banks used to ONLY take rich, white kids. They didn't want brown looking people or gay people and didn't think women could cut it/thought they'd quit to make a baby. Now they are making up for it by trying to target "diversity" and ensuring they have enough women in the ranks.
ya but im asian, like I get screwed the most ways
