Do I Count as Diversity?
Hey Monkeys, I'm a sophomore attending a semi target school. I'm Asian, which makes me disqualify for diversity events as I understand. But in my case, I'm the first middle schooler, high schooler, and college student in my family. soooooooo... do I count as diversity?
For old-timers, have you noticed a difference in company culture/diversity since your company initiated diversity initiatives?
Been asked to help with recruiting, but I was curious if any long timers in the industry at IB, PE, or consulting firms actually noticed a change in a company's culture after they hired diversity initiatives. In addition, I was curious if you noticed a change in incoming analyst classes, in terms of...
Quit Blaming Diversity Programs/Racism for you sucking...
So here is my rant on diversity programs and all the complaining that happens (ironic because I am complaining..sort of) Also, I am a white male from a non-target SEC school who landed an offer at a BB, so take as you will. I am a firm believer that diversity is great. I do not believe that...
Ending Diversity Programs For Good - When will it happen?
As someone who went to a state school and actually had to bust my ass off to break into a Bulge Bracket out of school (graduated 2016) I have genuinely gotten exhausted at looking at extremely underqualified candidates getting offers thrown at them through diversity. It's universally known that if...
Sophomore Diversity Programs IB SA 2021
I am a current sophomore. I am applying to sophomore diversity programs for SA 2021 IB, and was wondering if you need to network extensively to get into these sophomore programs like you have to for normal junior SA IB programs (2022 for me). I know for junior year SA IB, people say talk to 5-10...

How Well do Diversity Programs feed into the firm?
How much does a Diversity program help in terms of securing a return offer? If I secure an offer for a Freshman program, how likely is it that I'll get in for the Sophomore one? And for the Sophomore one, how likely is it that I'll get in for Junior? Thanks for your help.
Where does a Freshman Diversity Program go on Resume?
Hey guys, I'm doing a freshman diversity program at a BB this Summer (think Morgan Stanley , Citi , with their weeklong programs and whatnot, etc.). Obviously this isn't anything like an actual summer internship , but it's still something worth noting, so where should I put it on my resume?

Morgan Stanley Freshman Enhancement Program to Sophomore Summer Analyst

SEO/MLT Killing Non Diverse Intern Chances?
Hot take, but I think programs like SEO and MLT kill off a large percentage of nondiverse applicants in the recruiting process and give any slightly motivated minority the ability to attain a top tier internship. This year's SEO and MLT class have nearly 800 interns at over 80 top tier companies....

How Difficult is it Really to Get into These Bank Diversity Events/Undergraduate Camps?
I am personally familiar with the GS undergraduate camp that flaunts an application rate of over 3000 students with an acceptance rate between 200-350. Is this an accurate statistic? Do other diversity events/undergraduate camps deliver similar figures? It seems that everyone with a LinkedIn account...
Should I attend Diversity Events???
I'm a sophomore at a non-target and gotten so many emails from firms telling me about their diversity "insight" days with accelerated recruiting for next summer. I'm a pacific islander and most of the flyers say like "women" or "LGBTQ" or "Black/native american". Should I apply to attend these...

Do you see this at your school or during events, superdays, or programs?

Lazard Women's vs. MS Early Insights GCM
Having trouble which diversity event I should go to as they both conflict. I'm not strictly set on either career path [honestly do not know too much about GCM though].

Classic Diversity Rant
Here we go again, boys. Diversity rant. Notice what I did there? I said "boys" because I'm sexist, right? Wrong. Am I sexist? Fuck yeah, if paying for everything and thinking (knowing) that men are better drivers is sexist. But no, I'm actually just speaking to my intended audience, heterosexual...
Teller's Comprehensive Guide to Diversity Recruiting

INROADS to BB
Hey guys, I'm a freshman at a LAC target who got past first rounds for INROADS.
