Ironically the best people I’ve ever worked with are actually nepo kids who have a chip on their shoulder and want make their own success. These people are polished killers who grind. Sometimes Questbridge / SEO pipeline kids lack proper grammar, understanding of nuance, etc. and are not the strongest candidates. Obviously there are outliers on both ends, and nepo candidates can be very, very bad, but the reality of this just isn’t true from personal experience working at a top bank in NYC.
You don’t know what it feels like to be a super hardworking, earnest white / Asian guy who has to watch DEI students parade around with their offers Sophomore year and brag about it on LinkedIn before you even have a chance to have a first round interview at the exact same banks due to the delayed timing for non-diversity. It’s a feeling I’ll never forget.
PSDs and Nepo Babies with chips on their shoulder. As with many things in life, the middle is death. Never be in the middle of the curve.
Questbridge is like 50 - 75% poor asian / white kids. SEO is very different than Questbridge.
Did you talk about this at PIKE chapter meeting during recruitment?
This is a cringe, misinformed stereotype. Today, most schools that place well onto Wall Street have a pretty minimal Greek life presence. My bank actually has almost no alumna of Greek life, and I myself was not in Greek life. Business frats are more common from what I’ve seen but I wouldn’t count those under Greek life.
Not that we should be encouraging this kind of family dynamic, but I also have seen some nepo babies at my company (esp the eastern asian ones) who were basically bullied and verbally abused by their parents who can never be satisfied when they were growing up to the point where they kill themselves over striving for perfection in the work they do bc they were traumatized by their upbringing. Some of them work harder than anyone else in the office.
Don’t use PoC term for DEI. Asian, Brown and Arab men are not part of any DEI quota. Just say women as gender DEI is all what banks care about.
>“Brown people aren’t dei”
Absolute derangement
Hispanics are DEI, asians & whites aren't (asians/indians/arabs)
No, this is correct. And it’s one of the confusing aspects about DEI. They’re looking for the ‘right’ minorities, despite people from ‘brown’ or ‘Asian’ backgrounds facing similar institutional hurdles as their counterparts from XYZ diversity group. Look into the Harvard lawsuits - now that is delusional
Brown women are absolutely DEI but brown men aren’t.
it's only women and blacks really. everyone else is disadvantaged under the DEI paradigm
Found the DEI Becky
Not a woman.
Grow a pair
** not yet a woman
Lol cope. DEI =/ white, Asian etc
DEI only applies to like 2-3 ethnicities. Stop lumping minorities as one pro-DEI bucket. The overwhelming # of minorities are anti-DEI
Diversity comes in all different shapes and sizes not just your skin color but mostly your socioeconomic status.
There have been white and Asian people that would be considered DEI and have programs to aid the barriers of entry based off of income.
Doesn’t work like that. The annual report and DEI audit reports of banks clearly outline, and consistently across the industry who is DEI.
DEI is all women, black / Hispanic / indigenous men, and LGBTQ only. No other subgroup is considered DEI.
What are you talking about? There is no diversity pathway for White/Asian etc unless you are LGBTQ on top of that
DEI only applies to a 2-3 ethnicities as outlined below
Respectfully, you're an intern. You don't know who is performing well and who isn't. You simply came on here to virtue signal. Go vent and project your feelings somewhere else
Haven’t changed my employment status. Nice Comment tho
Your history says you're looking at FT jobs ... what is that besides an intern?
Also ironic as fuck you're a diverse male in SEO who didnt get a RO themself. What do you think made you not get it if you were outworking them and diverse?
At the end of the day… someone can be the smartest person ever, out work everyone, and earn every right to be in the room they’re in. There will always be a fuckass grimlin in the back saying “DEI Jamal” “DEI Becky” when they EARN their flowers.
Nobody ever says DEI Jamal. It is always DEI Emma. Don’t try to lump hard working men of color with freeloading women unless you can provide evidence they are part of DEI. Only black / Hispanic men are DEI.
I am literally a guy that fits into that category…I’ve heard both phrases be referenced to, I’m just ALSO advocating for woman who get shit on for literally just existing in the industry.
When I have questions majority when I ask a woman, again from MY EXPERIENCE, they’ve known their shit. Yes there are bad apples but we need to stop shitting on DEI because it’s a “free in”
It quite literally opens the doors to perspectives and backgrounds that will change this industry for the greater good
DEI definitely applies to certain racial minorities
What you say is true, will never be admitted though.
jews this thread : DEI colleagues are actually smart
jews the other thread: DEI beckies are incompetent
OP and 80% of the commenters here are jews. so jews manipulate both sides of the discourse, and both threads appear on the front page.
so they manipulate all twitter discourse, and now all the jews manipulate WSO discourse!
im not Jewish but I agree with this
you are jewish
this whole thread is you talking to yourself from another account
What are you talking about?
Hilarious cope. No, 90% are not as good as a non-DEI candidate. DEI to be clear is women / blacks / lgbtq. That's it if you look at actual hiring statistics as these 3 groups account for 99% of DEI (and it's mostly the first two)
Can you please bring up a statistic on how DEI negatively affects the bottom line for a company.
I just think most of these arguments come from a racist agenda towards certain groups of people. Considering the way you used “blacks” and your previous post… you have strong opinions on certain groups of people.
Woke lib spotted. Sure let’s call blacks whites instead now? George Washington was black right?
This kind of deflecting nitpicking is why the lib agenda has lost the plot and is becoming irrelevant
If you want to defend DEI that badly then go join CNN or a Shonda Rhimes show
Why should we earmark 50% of seats in hiring and promotions for women? At this point, it is corporate charity. Educate and advocate is a fraud promoted to handicap men financially.
These handouts need to expire now. Don’t show us rigged McKinsey studies where performance of large firms in a bull market was incorrectly associated with female presence on management / board.
Intern lol -- DEI?
True
your side lost bro. You failed. Look at today’s WSJ article, DEI hiring is now nearly back to pre COVID levels. And the direction of travel is only further decrease
Stop trying to punch down on hardworking Asian dudes, no one is buying it anymore
