Gentlemen - as I'm recruiting for private equity, I'm noticing that most people I speak to are vertically challenged 5'6-5'10. Moreover, the more senior they are, the shorter they get...
Is this a real thing - what explains this? Easier to fit in airplanes? Lower latency between brain and hands (better at excel)? Less distracted by NYC dating scene?

Congrats on 5’11
Based on the most helpful WSO content, height should not be a barrier to success in the finance industry. Here are some key points from previous WSO threads:
In summary, height does not determine one's ability to succeed in finance. Confidence, skills, and interpersonal abilities are far more critical factors.
Sources: I have been told that I can't make it into the finance industry (HF, VC, PE, etc.) because of my height?, How many of the senior bankers on your team do you reckon will die alone, How many of the senior bankers on your team do you reckon will die alone, People who fall off the map professionally, Wall Street “Clout”
lol. Short kings at 5’10? You’re taller than 85% of all men in America. Your generation just lives in this weird bubble. Finance is largely the last great meritocracy. Grit and smarts trump all
Congrats on 5’10
My team has one Kid who is 5’7. Total napolean complex, everyone dislikes him. Don’t try to boss around chad 6’2 analysts as a 5’7 mba associate
This is the perfect thread for me
