This comment by @Aerbil99" in the post "I have been told that I can't make it into the finance industry (HF, VC, PE, etc.) because of my height?".
Don't worry you'll do just fine in the finance industry. Our BB has the following rules for all new recruits:
6"+ = Front Office
5"8 - 5"11 = Middle Office
Under 5"8= Back office
I hear back office pay is quite good these days.
