+2 stop shilling your stupid site, we've all said to stopa nd you keep on doing fake upvotes  Prospect in IB - Gen
+2 It is obviously the case that white males have been disenfranchised. You only need to look at the number of women in finance and the number of programs aimed specifically at them. Prospect in IB - Gen

+2 Howard Senior Finance major here…yes Howard places very well with a lot of firm as it is an high recognized and accredited school. Intern in AM - FI
+2 I might not even disagree you. AI automation may create new types of jobs (so unemployment stays low), or it may not. I have no idea what the world will look like, just that it will be very different from now... ojapar20

+2 That firm is the worst on the street techiebanker
+2 The nepotism argument is a statistical rounding error. Nepo hires take maybe 1% of the seats. Institutional mandates shape the entire funnel. OFFERGOBLIN
+2 If you beat Ramzi in ping pong heard you get axed. Is that true? Associate 3 in IB - Gen
+2 Those are the same people who talk shit about DEI. Silver spoon mfs who don't realize how good they have it. I always bat for public school kids and FGLI kids who network with me and always try to help them out.  usernameladiesman217
