I wasn’t invited to any diversity event by any bank. I am an international Asian woman (many like me) attending a target b-school (think H/W) . Im looking at 2024 mba summer internships.
Do you think I have low success in recruiting or I am at low priority with these banks ? How are these diversity selections made?
Any thoughts appreciated.

Very sorry to hear that. Have you tried recruiting like everybody else?
Sheeeesh
Faceless VPs like you need to be given a class on kindness. And yes, to massage your stupid ego - I am recruiting normally.
This is as more of a question.
Came down sweetheart, just use the career services at your school and the alumni~ plenty opportunities. Less complaining more grinding . Their is a lot Chinese and Indians in MDs and VPs roles that’s you can reach out. Your no longer considered “diversity”!
How charming. I can’t imagine why they wouldn’t invite you.
Taking a guess, but international likely hurts somewhat.
Also, Asian female is probably the 2nd-least or overall least valued "diversity" category (the only competition for this is a white Hispanic male) as the pool of qualified candidates is large enough they don't need a boatload of special events to attract only mediocre talent; instead, they can have more limited events for better talent which makes it less of an advantage
this made me curious; who belongs to the 1-tier diversity category in your opinion?
It's pretty obvious. I believe there was a post titled 'diversity tier list' here that ended up getting deleted, but I'm sure you can find it copied and pasted somewhere else.
Think a person who fulfills 2+ or even 3+ "diversity" categories.
