Come out during an interview
Hi. I'm now preparing for behavioural interviews for investment banks and find that in some answers I may have to mention my sexuality. What will happen if I come out (accidentally or on purpose) during a interview? Should I just avoid those answers relating to the fact that I'm a lesbian? Thanks a lot for any suggestion.
I mean, this is Wall Street. If you come out during an interview I'm sure your interviewer's logical response would be to be like "ayyyyyyyy" and then do a victory lap around the bullpen high fiving everyone and yelling "we got one!" and then he'd probably offer you 10k to shave your head or some shit. Can't see how that's a negative for you.
Thanks. But even in London? Seems that culture in the UK is quite different from that in Wall Street. Plus that I'm Asian and English is not my native language.
I don't see how this would ever come up. Don't ask, don't tell kind of mindset. No one cares.
You mean I should just avoid using answers relating to that? Like, if someone ask "What is the toughest decision you have ever had to make?", then I should not answer something like I came out to my parents after struggling for years and have been making my own living since ?
There's probably a way to still use this example without making it too personal. You could simply say they weren't accepting of your life decisions and you had to do what made yourself happy. Chances are they're not going to drill you with questions about why exactly you moved out. If they're really that concerned, then sure, if your feel comfortable fill them in. I just think you're better off not being the one to bring up the specifics.
